"well, it landed on this rebased commit that's huge. I guess it was a kind of useful, just not as useful as we'd like".
- firesloth 4y agoHaha, true! On the other hand, is that better or worse than running into a string of "wip" commits that had the code in a broken state.
- Dylan16807 4y agoBut if the alternative is that it's ten commits and most of them don't work anyway, the bisect takes longer to give you the same lousy information.
- P5fRxh5kUvp2th 4y agoThat's not the alternative, who develops like that? It's like the first time I saw the essay calling ORM's the "vietnam of the software industry". I remember reading it and wondering who the hell would use ORM's in that manner? Apparently a lot of people, but if you're using rebase because you don't know how to create commits that build and are functional then I submit the issue is with you.
