Not Without My Permission

One of my favorite moments from the Fifth Element is when Bruce Willis kisses the sleeping Milla Jovovich and ends up with a gun pointed at his head. The stream of words coming out of her mouth translate to "not without my permission".
So what the heck does this have to do with making websites one might ask? Well as it so happens keeping Milla Jovovich happy is the same as keeping your users happy.
Fearless Coding With Subversion.

If you do not have a computer programming background you may not be aware of the magic that is Subversion.
When I write code, I make changes with reckless abandon, never worrying about breaking my existing work. Subversion allows me to behave recklessly by providing a nice safety net. I know that not only can I pull up the most recent version of my file, but many previous versions as well if need be.
This allows me to take risks, and solve problems in ways that I wouldn't normally try if I was being timid.
