The "squash everything" mantra turns git commit history into a series of snapshots devoid of any logical notion about how code evolves.

Squashed commits are strictly worse than plain, non-fast-forwarded merges from rebased branches.

Depends on your commits. If it’s untested noise I’d much rather they’re squashed so bisect doesn’t meander in trash.
Bisecting with --first-parent takes care of this.
