Have you ever used
git bisect? If so, how did you use it? Did it help you find a problem which would otherwise be difficult to find? Story time, I guess?

Yes, once. Our research lab’s in-house software suddenly started throwing segfaults. The update was from the Mac side (OS), not the software side, so it would’ve been near impossible to figure out exactly which feature of the software no longer played nice with the new MacOS. We (me and a mentor) used git bisect to figure out what feature didn’t work, and patched it for the new OS update.
The next week I went and bought a new laptop and installed Linux on it so that didn’t happen again.
