Isn't his point that different people have different needs, and git was created with one typical use in mind? So maybe not everyone should use git exactly because their needs may be different? Disclaimer: not a serious programmer myself

But he starts by saying that people are using git "wrong" (or suboptimally). If git fits my needs why should I worry about how this dude or Linus or the prime emporer of gitland thinks it should be used?

I think the author has a great point about the differences between how git was "designed" to be used as compared to how it ends up being used in orgs most often. But I also balk at being told I'm using an open source tool incorrectly as a general rule.

disclaimer - I really want prime emporer of gitland to be a proper honorific.
