I'll confess I haven't read the OP but I find the discussion of money interesting and want to share two great books I read recently that might be of interest:

Money: a story of humanity https://www.davidmcwilliams.ie/money

The corporation in the 21st century https://yalebooks.yale.edu/book/9780300280197/the-corporatio...

The first one especially. Every night I read a chapter, and every time I'd remark to my wife how entertaining this book was.

The second was very interesting as well. I thought the author took an appropriately critical look without overdoing it, and offers a history of big business in the past ~200 years.

RIP. I think the last thing I saw him in was Widows.

I logged in to share this Robert Duvall-adjacent story, which got a chuckle from me at the time (read to the end):

Replying to echo this, I also read every commit message, and review PRs commit by commit. This was common practice at my last job (a small, experienced team), and the expectation was that commits were atomic.

Yes, we griped that GitHub would not allow us to merge individual commits, but if it was ever urgent or helpful to do so, we cherry-picked a commit into a separate PR.

Everyone's workflow is a bit different, and it can be hard to redirect organizational inertia. But without a doubt, reading a clean commit history is a pleasure.
