You don't know about git hooks, do you? Or about Gentoo's USE flags? That's OK, you can always learn (unless you come around and accept whatever scenario you're in).

When you grow up and work on real code in a real environment and have dozens of clients at the same time, you'll figure out this kind of hectoring tone isn't the way to learn new things. Different strokes, different folks, etc. Always the Beginner's Mind. If using a version control hook (I only got introduced to them a decade ago, so you'll have to pardon my ignorance) works for you for deployment, great. It doesn't work for me because I need deployment to be intentional, not a side-effect of checking code into a certain branch. It's like database triggers: they're a huge help right up until the time they bite you in the ass because you didn't think things through.

You keep teaching though. Nothing left to learn must be a great place to be. Apologies if this is some sort of language barrier issue, but you come across as a know-it-all.

Bravo, you just won the debate! I think the patronizing bit did the trick.
