You need bisect only as a last resort. Effective use of git blame, git log -p -S etc has always been enough for me. Also, the projects I work with take 10+ minutes to compile even when cached, so doing tens of builds to bisect is much slower than just hunting for strings in git commits and code.

I had the same feeling until I started using gitk. I always have a gitk window open and press F5 to reload, so it shows me the state of everything after I’ve run git commands. Now I grasp everything much better.
