Agent-era take: if AI reads your git history, the rebase-vs-merge debate stops mattering
davidcrawshaw · x · 2026-11-03
Developer David Crawshaw shares a counterintuitive shift in the agent era. He was team rebase — tidy history now so future humans can read it — but now he uses agents to research git history and present it to him. If the main reader of history is an agent, fussing over merge commits loses its point. His takeaway: everyday engineering conventions deserve a rethink once agents become the audience.
