Take Two

I believe in being pragmatic and to use whatever tool is best for the job. I’m not always successful in this, however. My main problem is that I tend to get a bit too comfortable with my tools and reluctant to try out new things. Take for example revision control systems; I’ve been using Arch for years–I’ve not really tried any of the alternatives to see if they fit better.

Not so anymore; I’ve been using Subversion since I changed jobs a few months ago, and for my latest personal project I’ve been experimenting with Darcs. I’m planning to write an article comparing them once I’ve got a bit more experience.
