    Garrett: The desktop and the developer
    Matthew Garrett suggests a
    rethink of the desktop
    to better suit the needs of contemporary
    developers. "If the desktop had built-in awareness of the issue
    tracker then they could be presented with relevant information and options
    without having to click through two separate applications. If git commits
    were locally indexed, the developer could find the relevant commit without
    having to move back to a web browser or open a new terminal to find the
    local checkout. A simple task that currently involves multiple context
    switches could be made significantly faster.
