No branching. You're kidding...right ?

In real world you get to see a lot of WTF code. A lot. And then you stumble upon things like this. It looks like Flickr doesn't do branches , has only trunk and it pushes the trunk code into production a few times a day. For any software developer that's a giant WTF moment. It simply cannot be a good ideea. 

Funny thing is that i met people who used to think that's a good ideea. I bet that when the next guy comes along will point that blog post to me and say : "But look at Flickr guys. It works for them" .  Sigh...
