Save
Your favorite home-cooked meal, maybe a recipe handed down generation to generation, these are things worth saving aren't they? Discuss ways to save a recipe (cloud based storage vs kitchen cookbook or notes in a drawer or memory). What are the advantages & disadvantages of certain methods of storing a recipe? What's the best way?
Edit
Customers at a restaurant suggested changing the recipe for a certain dish. The recipe is altered, and the new version is even worse. More improvements are needed. Would it be better to revert back to the old one and make another attempt to improve that, or continue changing the altered version? Discuss version history, forking, and pulling.
