The more you understand the inner workings of git, the more you realize all the people who pointed and laughed at GitHub for being a centralized place for everyone's git repos were right.

This is especially true now that GitHub has reached 0 nines of uptime.

I also don't like that everything became all about pull requests instead of commits. Nobody reads the commit messages these days. They might as well not be there.

If I wrote all my commit messages at work by rolling my face across the keyboard, not one person would notice.

I say this because I write detailed commit messages. Then in code review, someone inevitably asks why I'm doing something a certain way. The answer to their question is invariably in one of the commit messages.

Feel this in my bones. I will often suggest reviewers walk my PRs' commits instead of looking for meaning in a wall of red and green File Changes.

@robbkidd Yep. You're not gonna understand the recipe if all you're looking at is the mixing bowl after I pulled it out of the KitchenAid.
