I've seen work environments that are chaotic, and people are expected to deliver things that they can't deliver without navigating and taming the chaos to do their bidding.
If course that's stressful. You can't expect individuals to tame the organization.
I think some parts of IT have deteriorated into anarchy with tyrannic leadership.
Sure, you can have anarchy. But then don't expect any particular timelines.
You can hire armies of people. But then don't expect one corner of the org to be able to deliver something that involves talking to everyone.
I've been following your school of thought as well as the one proposed by the author.
I would argue that your model is a lot freer and will lead to better code quality in the long run, since you're not feeling so restricted when working.
Meticulously crafting commits feel like one of those "good in theory" approaches that feels good but hurts you more than you realize. They're good for workflows where you move commits between lots of (release) branches, sure, but if you're doing trunk-based development I'm going to call it a bit formalistic.
I would love it if some language would implement a segmented heap, where each part could be GCed separately.
Erlang has this model with it's lightweight processes. And it's a great model that helps not only with GC, but also guaranteeing no shared state between different parts of the code.
Our project got bitten by this hard. I was under the impression that they did this to enable memcpy/memmove into structs, which didn't feel completely motivated if you ask me.
It's a common error for native Swedes, It's a direct translation from Swedish. Could be true for other languages as well, I believe most Germanic languages use "how".

You can't have the cake and eat it too.
