If it ever makes sense to do this it means you aren't committing frequently enough.

- remy_luisant 10y agoThanks for the reminder.
- oogali 10y agoYes, in a perfect world... However, if you're reverse engineering a system you've inherited, or one where source code isn't readily available, then this decompilation makes sense.
- sciurus 10y agoYep. Amusingly, Simon and I were working on the same codebase during Eventbrite's quarterly hackathon when this happened. He was working solo on one feature while myself and three other developers were working on another. Because we were collaborating, we had to commit frequently simply to stay in sync. Because he was working alone, he was able to avoid committing and get into a situation where figuring out the process in this gist was necessary. Despite this distraction and 1/4 the personpower, Simon arguably still wrote something cooler than we did.
