I think this happens almost every year in Indonesia. Some years it's not really bad, but this year it's been really - really bad. A lot of the year, we're somewhat relying on the rain to reduce the number of the hotspots but last I heard, not much rain happening this year (a few days ago, there were rain and it kinda help it a bit).
I'm somewhat agree with one of the sentiments thrown in this discussion that a lot of people who doesn't get the haze directly (mostly the high ranking government official in Jakarta) won't understand the dire situation in the fields.
I think we use a lot of PR flow in our team. It's really powerful if you collaborate or plan to collaborate with others as it allows you to get together and look at the commits to ensure code quality (in theory).
Even the command line git itself is really nice because it gives you the current condition of your repo and suggestion on what you can do next. You have changes, if you want to commit use this command or if you want to add use this command.
Thanks for the article. I'm really hopeful that this competition will bring out something on the table (maybe a prototype).
It would be really nice to be able to travel between nearby cities in the US without spending hours driving / flying. Flying itself is not really bad if it's not because of the time you need to waste until you actually fly.
