People I work with me are probably tired of me beating them up for not checking in code often enough. I try to promote the idea that if it makes the product better or closer to completion, check it in. It doesn’t have to perfect, or even testable to warrant a check-in. Just don’t break the build or existing functionality. With small check-ins, integration becomes less of an issue, and others can see what’s going on and where we’re heading.
Jeff Atwood does a good job of making the point here
