This comment would be more compelling if it gave any hint about what aspect of the tooling the author didn’t understand or what they should be doing differently.
I’m not talking about the author, specifically or criticizing them directly. I’m lamenting how often I encounter people putting intense amounts of effort into arguing about how git should be used. My hypothesis is that if people understood their tools better before getting all evangelical about forcing their entire eng team to work in their style, others wouldn't have to spend so much time trying to convince them that other styles are exist and are valid.
Compare with a construction site: there are obvious uses for tools and there are less obvious uses and I haven't been on a single one where tools are only used specifically in one way for the entirety of the project. They’re used dynamically by different people with different experiences in order to complete the project. Nobody forces other workers to use a specific grip when holding their hammer…
This isn't "how to use a hammer", though, it's more like "how to evaluate the completion of work", which is definitely something working teams have to agree on. git itself is almost irrelevant to the discussion, other than its native feature set having some influence on the options.
