📊 POLL: Do you use git blame? DAILY/ SOMETIMES/ NEVER/ DEPENDS

February 13, 2026

Ever used git blame to understand why code looks like this? 😅

I’m curious how developers actually use it in real life.

🔸 What each option means

▪️ Daily 🔍 — You treat blame like a navigation tool: quick context, fast debugging, faster reviews.

▪️ Sometimes 🕵️ — Only when it’s useful: production incidents, mysterious regressions, “who touched this?” moments.

▪️ Never 🙅‍♂️ — You avoid it: fear of blame culture, prefer pairing, docs, tickets, or git log/PR history instead.

▪️ It depends 🤷‍ — Context matters: team culture, repo quality, commit habits, and whether the goal is learning vs finger-pointing.
