Weeknotes for the week finishing Friday, 6th June 2025.

Paternity leave! More specifically, additional paternity leave!

The University of Oxford Additional Paternity/Partner Leave scheme means I have 10 additional weeks of paternity leave. Needless to say, the scheme is amazing.

Last week I started thinking about pair programming as an alternative to pull requests. This week I read “Patterns for Managing Source Code Branches” by Martin Fowler. I’d like to learn more about continuous delivery and “Patterns for Managing Source Code Branches” gave useful and interesting context.

Time’s up!
