If you don’t know what you’ve done within a commit, it probably shouldn’t be a single commit, with or without AI Although if you’re talking about using AI to make funny commit-messages…
Good opportunity to say how annoying are update notes like “We are continuing to improve our application. We fixed a couple more issues to make it more stable”. Corporate style, uselessness and the fact that this update can contain some stupid redesign is disgusting.
I’ve reached a point where I avoid these types of updates. An update post like that either means nothing important changed or they’re up to something.
A while ago I saw that style of patch notes, updated an app, and suddenly I can’t use it anymore because it got limited to a maximum of 2 devices. Another time I updated an app putting a harmless “we improved the user experience” message, they put dark mode behind a paywall. This isn’t counting the number of times an app got redesigned to make the user experience worse for no reason. Maybe they wanted to justify hiring 5 UI/UX interns in that quarter or something.
The patch notes look harmless, but my god, they are usually up to something.
Yeah. I do the same. That “we are making improvements” text is corporate for “we don’t have anything remotely close to change management or quality assurance”.
Considering it uses day then month, 24hr clock, and distance in km, I’m guessing the reason why it’s not “human readable in American” is because it’s intended to be “human readable for pretty much everybody else”
I once worked in a software shop where all release packages had the Unix epoch timestamp in the filename. Yes, these sorted brilliantly making it trivial to find the last one. But good luck finding a build from a specific date/time.
Nothing like receiving a GitHub email with a page of traceback cuz someone replied to an issue thread. It looks like they’re running anaconda on windows. And their problem is probably something else. Oh gosh, why did I waste my brain looking into this traceback? But sure this was very relevant to the discussion.
A real answer to your question though, as long as you can get it to reconnect, even if you have to close the window first, it should still have your changes to the file ready to save. These will be cached (somewhere?) unless you close the file.
Changelogs are published to stakeholders. So what I’m saying is you don’t have to try to enforce a commit style using got hooks if you have public shaming at your disposal.
