Our development cycle
BAT!CAVE Code-build-test cycle running on home machine feature requests
BAT!CAVE DEV.SO Test on the real servers git push
BAT!CAVE DEV.SO META.SE 1-click deploy Users test on meta.stackexchange.com (“baking”)
git push
BAT!CAVE DEV.SO META.SE 1-click deploy HALP! git revert git push
BAT!CAVE DEV.SO NETWORK META.SE 1-click deploy git push 1-click deploy
It’s live! Tons of users use it…
BAT!CAVE DEV.SO NETWORK META.SE 1-click deploy git push 1-click deploy
…and provide new feature requests

...this is what you are actually doing! IRepository<Order> repository =
new ValidatingOrderRepository ( new SecurityRepository<Order> ( new LoggingRepository<Order> ( new CachingRepository<Order> ( new NHibernateRepository<Order> () ) ) ) ); Order order = repository.Get(35);
Throwing away spaghetti… one strand at a time!
