As I mentioned before, the format of these posts is changing. In particular, I will probably break the Development group into pieces and probably add another topic group or two. Today, there are some really interesting articles. First, if you save sensitive data to GitHub, you can probably assume someone else already has it. Also, Tesla continues to do very cool things, in this case creating the precursor to Doc Oc 🙂

Enjoy today’s items, and please participate in the discussions on these sites.
