My company block normals.me. Seems like it is a very dangerous website that will steal my credentials 🤣

I use to post on dev.to. Even becomes a moderator, just during a few weeks before being kicked for what I can described as a “One way anti-discrimination rule enforcement”.

But even before AI it started to become slopes of always the same low quality topics. I cannot count the number of “How to push your first git branch” or “How to becomes a 10x developer” article I saw. There was a belief that putting on your CV that you write articles and contribute to open source will makes you more employable. Most of people didn’t understand that “quality” contribution was implied.

After that I switched to medium.com, but the same bullshit article contamination happened. Maybe even worst because there was money involved.

Now I write only on my blog and follow tech news on mastodon.

That’s the role of the commit title, with tags if you follow https://www.conventionalcommits.org/ standard.

99% of commit description will never be read. Only the title is usefull when you scroll to a git log.

But, for the remaining 1%, it means you ended up doing a git blame, git bisect or any funky stuff like this to troubleshot a bug. And when you find the commit that introduced the regression, written by some dude that leaved the company 5 years ago and see a description like “Add the whatever method in whatever class that do the stuff explained by the doc written in the file”… Well, thanks bro. But why did you do this !!!

A commit message is not supposed to be a summary of the code. It is supposed to gives information that you cannot deduct from the diff. Like:

• Is there an attached ticket ?
• Does it produce side effects ?
• Is it a quick and dirty fix just before the release ?
• What are the consequence of the modification ?
• Why you choose this approach instead of another ?
• Why are you not able to add regression test ? etc …

The first guy at Cursor that create the feature to generate commit message from diff is just a fucking moron that don’t understand the role of a commit message.
