I've had a similar feeling of empowerment, although less structured. With hobby projects where sometimes I realize I was thinking all wrong about a certain solution, I'll just check in what I have and commence the deleting of large blocks. Occasionally I'll go back and find something that maybe was a good idea, but for the most part, having an excuse to part ways with bad ideas has alone been really great.

That's great, reducing the barrier to entry for new projects allows for more experimentation. More experimentation increases the likelihood you'll stumble upon something you really like!

What I meant to say more clearly is that I probably iterated through the creation of that web application so quickly because in five days I committed to git 75 times. In my time at Microsoft I don't know that I would have made 75 commits in a year, and creating new branches was very costly.

I got numbers on my git repository by using GitStats: http://gitstats.sourceforge.net/
