Writing Useless Git Commit Messages, no doubt

The best Git Commit message I’ve ever seen was for like 35 files and a few hundred lines and it just said “Please work”

Changing stuff and seeing what happens. If you change two things the universe will let the problem be fixed, because that leaves you uncertain which thing fixed the problem.

The ol Heisenburg’s Uncertainty fix

I’m the donkey today - but it’s okay since I’m writing some automated tests over the incomprehensible thing I wrote on Tuesday.

Forgetting how your own code works over here

I spend a bunch of time in log reviews in my current role. “Googling the error message” image is literally hanging on my office wall.

I’m 100% the frog :)

I retired about a year ago, so the left-most book on the middle row is about me.

I have a mention in forward with a note being “the only documention left was a series of desperate sounding emails that the documentation was still on the now quarenteened work computers and something about a README”

THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE TO ME, like I appreciate my bosses and PMs being chill and not wanting to overwork me on my way out but seriously guys I needed to hand this off to someone and put it somewhere. shrug

I asked people to take handover for a full month before I left and nobody cared. In my last day they kept asking if they could call me with questions. I said only if they had their credit cards ready because I wasn’t going to work for free.

100% like can you message me? Sure. Will I help or hell respond? Probally not tbh. Work, chores, and hobbies keep me busy enough.

That one is my aspiration too. Is retirement as great as it seems?

I’m enjoying it a lot so far. I haven’t missed working at all.

congrats wisened/enrichend early retirement one.

blaming the user, it’s not necessarily their fault, but gaslighting worked for Apple so why can’t it work for me.

I’m definitely writing useless git commit messages

For work, I at least include the Jira ticket id

For personal stuff, it’s sweeping features stuffed into one commit that barely describes what was changed

What was the git flag to basically rewrite history again?

I’ve definitely been guilty of this, but if I can redo my changes in narrative form before I push I bet I won’t have to.

git rebase -i

“Fixed stuff”

“Fixed for real this time”

Forcing myself to write in the format of Conventional Commits has helped me a lot to write better commit messages.

Looking at the website, Conventional Commits seems a little verbose for ny tastes but it probably helps actually communicate the changes so everyone is on the same page. Thanks for the tip!

The guy who wrote this is gone

I’ve gotten about 1,000 alert emails in the last 8 hours because of this

The trick is to be the guy who is gone

Guys who are here hate this one trick!

Customer facing, so I think I wrote the one with the cat…

I just picked up the latest version of “Copying and Pasting”. This edition discusses copying and pasting from various AIs. Looking forward to digging in

Glad to see they keep it up to date.
