Have you ever used git bisect? If so, how did you use it? Did it help you find a problem which would otherwise be difficult to find? Story time, I guess?

I don’t use it often, but when I do it saves me hours.

For example, I used it recently in a large project that had no CI. The build failed, and I could find the first commit it failed on using bisect in a couple of minutes.
