I don't believe they use this at thoughtbot. I think they use them to teach newcomers (I'm talking about alias and shortcuts).

I don't want to have to agree or compromise on alias/shortcuts, I wan't to use my at will.

This will only go one way: we are going to override this.

I really think it's a waste of time having to agree on some alias, and its bullshit that thoughtbot developers use these alias.

Why don't we keep this here for eventual newcomers?
