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?

If you know about bisect and don't find it useful, my first guess is you aren't making enough commits (or you're squashing too many of them). Keep your git history granular, make intermediary commits when possible (as long as the intermediary step doesn't make it completely broken), and you'll be using bisect for a good chunk of regressions.
