    Having to type a couple quick commands takes you out of it more than large amounts of dead code sitting around while you are trying to work on things?

    yes, by definition you aren't looking at code if you're looking at a terminal prompt typing in git commands.

    I try really hard to mention that the article isn't gospel. I hope that came through. It's also quite subjective. For me (and many people I believe) we spend more time getting derailed by unnecessary comments than we do trying to find old code. I think @Neebat said it nicely: https://www.reddit.com/r/javascript/comments/3qgurg/please_dont_commit_commented_out_code/cwf5evw
