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?

Usually when theres a "mystery" bug on something that already worked before. Spending half a day running the build script over and over again, is still faster than debugging in different parts of the codebase with the hope of finding some hint.
