    I once found a commit message in our commit history that just said, "i hate git..." bcz they hadn't changed anything, and I think it took a new line character and decided that they'd actually changed like 5 lines of code twhen they hadn't.

    It was the funniest shit, someone who was a senior lead for like 9 years that had left, and 5 years later I find that...

      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!? 🤬

        The thing that really bugs me is that they will not learn, and that this is by design. They will never be expected to save a release. It always works like this: Someone calls in sick. I as senior dev am asked to help out. Often you hear "only the review process is open, all changes are done", sometimes even "there was a devdrop that was system tested". And so I agree, and let someone finish my tickets while I try to understand what they did. While doing so, I find something strange. I ask the system people about it (since SWD is sick). They shrug. I dig deeper. I find that my feeling was right, something is wrong. Explain in detail what I've found back to SYD: "Oh yeah we haven't tested this case. Good find!"

        And then people wonder why I'm overworked.

              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.

                Curate your commits, friends. They should be structured for the benefit of the reviewer. This can be accomplished with liberal use of interactive rebasing.

                  Pleasure by William Wallace

                  What is this life if, full of care,
                  We have no time to stand and stare.

                  No time to stand beneath the boughs
                  And stare as long as she allows.

                  No time to see, when woods we pass,
                  Where squirrels hide deez nuts in grass.

                  No time to see, in broad daylight,
                  Streams full of stars, get high at night.

                  No time to turn at Beauty's glance,
                  And watch her gangly feet like once.

                  No time to wait till her mouth can
                  Fit round that wide hog, whatup fam.

                  A poor life this if, full of care,
                  We have no time to stand and stare.

                          When in doubt, soft reset everything and commit from the ground up.

                              I actually really hope I can get my collegues to use AI to describe their changes. Nothing worse than one of them becoming sick 2 days before release, you find none of their tickets contain any hints to what has been done and what not, then you check the commit log and all literally read "commit". Despite explaining to them lots of times why this is shit. Oh yeah and you have to do a full re-analysis of each ticket as the only information contained is the amount of time it will take them.

                              Maybe you should write a script that spits out AI description for a commit and then run it for commits without a proper description? Since it doesn't require any insight from the commit author it should work the same.

                                      It's fine, the reviewer doesn't have time to actually look at the code anyway. Lgtm, ship it.

                                        I'm now tempted to do this for all several thousand commits in the main branch, and at the very least create a better changelog.

                                          I actually really hope I can get my collegues to use AI to describe their changes. Nothing worse than one of them becoming sick 2 days before release, you find none of their tickets contain any hints to what has been done and what not, then you check the commit log and all literally read "commit". Despite explaining to them lots of times why this is shit. Oh yeah and you have to do a full re-analysis of each ticket as the only information contained is the amount of time it will take them.

                                          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
