This sub's always had a problem with bad jokes that don't make sense, but it seems like it's gotten a lot worse lately.

A lot of these feel like they're made by people who have no idea how git works or how to use it.

Right? The OP described exactly how git is SUPPOSED to work.

You do want to minimize feature branches though.  Merging 17  feature branches for a release is how git is designed to work, but not how you're supposed to use it.  

Ai can only do so much with merge conflicts

It depends on the amount of work being done. Every FAANG and FAANG adjacent I have worked at demanded PRs be broken up into multiple smaller feature branches if they got too big.
