That is actually a really interesting approach to moderation, huh.

Yeah. Back left is the only burned in the right size for my pasta pot. Back right is a copy of front left and thus uniquely useless.

Lol, exact same situation here.

Quick question, did the migration to continuwuity break calls for you as well?

Because a commit should be an "indivisible" unit, in the sense that "should this be a separate commit?" equates to "would I ever want to revert just these changes?".

IDK about your commit histories, but if I'd leave everything in there, there'd be a ton of fixup commits just fixing spelling, satisfying the linter,...

Also, changes requested by reviewers: those fixups almost always belong to the same commit, it makes no sense for them to be separate.

And finally, I guess you do technically give up some granularity, but you gain an immense amount of readability of your commit history.

No idea about that, but I stopped watching them once I realized that, at least for their speculative topics, they just pull things out of their arse and present it with the same definitivity as the actually well-researched parts. Once you notice, it's hard to stop noticing.

also rally people and show them that it is possible to change things, give hope,...

But back to your original comment. Thinking that Greta helps the current systems by doing what she does is a brain-dead take.

Symbols inspire.

If that's how you feel, then I'd wager that you (like, you personally) are just looking for an excuse to not protest/"rebel" and are projecting.

Seriously, your statement boils down to "if other people do x, they just do it so I don't have to do x, which is bad, therefore no-one should do x. Why is no-one doing x?"

Same. And even if you were to fuck up, have people never heard of the reflog...?

Every job I've worked at it's been the expectation to regularly rebase your feature branch on main, to squash your commits (and then force push, obv), and for most projects to do rebase-merges of PRs rather than creating merge commits. Even the, uh, less gifted developers never had an issue with this.

I think people just hear the meme about git being hard somewhere and then use that as an excuse to never learn.

The Hegemony Consul sat on the balcony of his ebony spaceship and played Rachmaninoff’s Prelude in C-sharp Minor on an ancient but well-maintained Steinway while great, green, saurian things surged and bellowed in the swamps below.

One I've recently re-read. Not quite as catchy as some of the others here, but manages to capture the world and mood of the setting remarkably well in just one sentence.
