    That’s preferable to people who don’t ask for help until everything is hopelessly fucked because they kept trying to solve their problem different git commands, none of which they understood.

      Eh, git is never really that fucked. If you understand how it works, it’s generally not hard to get back to a state you want (assuming everything has been committed at some point, ofc).

      I would much rather people try to spend some time trying to understand and solve a problem first. I had a “senior” engineer who would message me literally every morning about whatever issue he was facing and it drove me absolutely nuts. Couldn’t do anything for himself. Unsurprisingly, he was recently laid off.

      My time should be respected.
