alt Hacker NewsI once root-caused a revenue-losing bug that had the entire rest of my team stumped with ten minutes of git-bisect.
It only worked that well because the team had all internalized my advice to write small, coherent commits, so the bisect landed on a ten-line change.
I strongly dislike the recent trend towards squashing every branch into a single monster commit.
Most people who squash things have never used git bisect, cannot solve a merge conflict and when there is one will just delete the directory and clone everything again. I've worked with such people. They can go on like this for an entire lifetime.
