that's more of how squash was applied in the situation ... If they had huge commits then while squash might break it up a bit that's a problem with how the people did their work. Myself I like to do PR and merges with code that ca

I'm not so sure of that ... what's the upward mobility of a small 20 person factory that's probably owned by a family that has the top three jobs in the company? Vs a large company with 3000 employees?

Agree 100% especially since that's most of the daily job is fixing up old code that was written in a hurry or for a different circumstance. The ability to see what some code was trying to do and how to fix it and make it extendable and

When I see DevOps called out I know that they expect 50% more work for free out of employees. Companies of course will deny it and imply that you're only working that much more as you are too stupid to write code without bugs and not d

I would ask myself why he felt he needed to add such statements. Provided he isn't an idiot it is probably because the flow was hard to understand. Was that his fault? I've found that if I can't understand the code it is beca
