Personally, it's an environment that I was very glad to leave behind.

this isn't a conspiracy, it's just a gossip source. that sort of exaggeration makes the article harder to read.

if you paid $5 for a pencil, to be told a few days later that the same pencil was being offered freely, would wish you had waited for the free pencil?

but doesn't that bring some logistical challenges? how does the reviewer look at your diffs and code if your changes haven't yet been committed? or do you commit, but you branch for every bug fix, and then merge when the review is completed? is there another clever way to do this that doesn't involve revision control?

2) you are comparing "copying" text from a sheet of paper to an electronic device. that doesn't make any sense at all. people who view text on an electronic screen are used to being able to select and copy it. that was never possible, nor will it ever be with a physical paper book.
