thank god now we've AI to do this
I feel ya my home! This comment burns me with the feels of a thousand suns. I hate that it's related so much to this.
Totally agree with y'all.
I knew a guy who said that this was meaningless, because all the changes can be seen in the code. Like, are you really asking for a human diff!? 🤬
Who needs a table of contents? Just read the book!
Why not get them fired? Call me cruel anyone who feels like it, but leaving no sign of what has been done is just plain shit attitude to colleagues
🙄
this is literally the only thing I think is acceptable for AI to do for developers.
nobody reads commit history anyway and they always go straight to blame to find out who to kick the fuck out of.
And the blame has those commit messages. That is beside the fact that most authors may not even work there anymore
I don't even waste my time anymore frankly. people just do a
git add .andgit commit -m "did some stuff".sorry, I've just worked with a lot of shitbag devs that honestly think of git as a flat filesystem that can't even properly branch or merge.
personally, I still put in clear commits and even do patch level adds. from what I have experienced though, using AI to generate those commit messages based on actual changes would be a godsend compared to the fuckery I've had to deal with.
