I actually like the “one interface with one implementation” as it makes for less surprises. With an interface I know that only that method can be called. If a class is passed in i have no idea what methods going to be used. It also gives m

I don’t understand the dislike of rebase — do you want hundreds of commits that say “linter fix” and “reformatting”? If there’s commits like “fixed off by one issue in refactor” then it should be a comment in the code so that future will ex
