Reminder that Chesterton's fence is basically the one good conservative idea

if you were designing a stacked workflow from first principles, you would focus on atomic/bisectable commits as the unit of work, with interdiffs between versions to guide you. Basically what Gerrit, Phab and numerous other tools do. The lack of engagement with prior art continues to be frustrating

If many other people do something and it works, it is worth understanding how it came to be before doing your own thing. Sometimes you realize your way is better (for example, Oxide racks, unlike even hyperscalers, have network cabling in the back), but it's important to understand what's going on

Oddly for being a classically conservative idea you kinda need it if you want to successfully do anything progressive

It helps differentiate progress from mere change, by preserving past improvements.
