Don't let yourself be reduced to statistics by following blindly the words of fools. Don't get paralysis by analysis. Get in there and get stuff done.
Git is a tool to version your work. Everything else is extra. Feeling bad for not having branches that "do one _useful(?)_ thing" and commits including their own tests, what the?
Articles like these are toxic, imho. Use tools to empower you, not enslave you.
I mostly agree though I think there is value in discipline. Without some self imposed rules it's easy for some of us (me anyway) to get sloppy so it can help to force yourself into some guidelines.
I agree with your point. However, I think overuse of the word "toxic" is toxic. :-) It seems to be applied to everything from a jerk who sexually harasses women to overzealous blog posts about version control, so the word becomes pretty meaningless. Toxic literally means poisonous, but even its metaphorical definition is "extremely harsh, malicious, or harmful". Why not use a more appropriate word that doesn't involve extremes?
