The cause stops mattering after a while, either you have to go on a full time campaign to educate people… or switch the setting to rebase and squash and be done with it.

The why is that most people when given the merge option don’t clean up their history so you end up with tons of garbage fix up commits.

People talking about efficiency are missing the point - the pedals are only there so it gets classified as an e-bike and not an electric motorcycle (so no license required, registration, taxes, can drive in the bike lane) and doesn’t have the jerky handling of an e-bike with the wheels mechanically linked to the pedals.

They never really intend for you to turn the pedals. It is a regulatory thing.

I’ve seen it fail, having tried it for a few years. There’s a type that passes this no problem but isn’t productive.

I switched to a battery of knowledge questions centered on the type of programmer I was looking for, it works much better and is even predictive of coding ability as it helps you learn this stuff.

Traditional gliders also carry ballast for cross country flights, which increases their speed without negatively impacting their glide ratio.

I had the same experience. The limiters come off when you go from a big company to a startup, and there are no longer any guard rails. It’s incredibly easy to let the feeling of accomplishment drive you to work more and more. It’s not sustainable, eventually you life will fall apart.
