A tidy history is lossy

I rebased a commit I'd already pushed because a linear history looked tidier. That's the force-push Jim wrote about — and the fix was to stop rewriting shared history and start adding to it.

Forced pushes are a process smell

Over-reliance on forced pushes isn't an agent quirk to work around; it's a sign of a bad coding practice for agents or humans.

Pushing before it was ready

The overnight run opened a pull request the moment the bug was fixed and the tests were green. That's a fine definition of 'done' and a poor one for 'ready to show people' — and only one of those was a judgment the run could make alone.

The overeager pull request

I left Fable chasing a bug overnight and came back to a surprise unreviewed pull request. The fix itself was good, but what was missing was a shared idea of 'ready to ship.'
