Shedding Light on Build Breakages

I've been following Mark Pesce on Twitter ever since I watched his brilliant closing keynote at Web Directions South in 2008. A few months ago he started hinting at a #sekritproject in his tweets. I had no idea what it was back then but I didn't have to wait long to find out. He unveiled the Light by Moore'sCloud on the 5th of October - I was captivated both by how it looked and the latent potential it embodied. Was this the first "thing" in the Internet of Things?

Stash’s Pseudo Line Numbers

Stash is Atlassian's Git repository management tool, and one useful feature is to view your source code and diffs right inside your web browser.

Introducing the REST API Browser and the Atlassian Developer Toolbox

As a developer, it's very rewarding to work with beautiful APIs that just work. Half the battle of building applications against 3rd party APIs is having clear and concise documentation that show great examples. However, sometimes documentation doesn't go far enough. Sometimes, having a tool that allows you to "touch and feel" the API is more productive. Having the ability to play with an API allows for greater discovery and can sometimes lead to better use. At AtlasCamp in September, we demonstrated
