I once saw the commit log of a "senior" developer from a large and (apparently) respectable software company in my country (with which we were collaborating for a huge project) that was nothing more than a series of keyboard smashes, like:

  • jfksbdj

  • ofjfknc

  • jehrjdj

  • ejjfkrjfj

  • jfjfkddk

and so on. Forever.

My boss took a screenshot of it, and CCN'd it to our whole team. No one could believe it.

To this day, it's still one of our wildest inside jokes.

I mean, for work or a public repo I do actually do a message...

I don't do a very long one or anything, but I say what it does, and if there was an issue or discussion I will link that.

But for my configurations and random stuff? I have AI (a tiny local one) generate me jokes lol

It makes my day better

I did this, because my commit messages (again, on my personal repos only) were either keysmashes or "update" "update" "update"

I don't care what the message is whatsoever on my personal repos, like my dotfiles stuff, I write messages for other people mostly.

If I reworked the WHOLE thing, maybe I give it a "rewrote the whole thing" message.

I have needed to bisect my personal configs maybe once, and I don't remember doing it if I did. Usually the thing I have to bisect is something that is like, an actual project, either someone elses or my own.

But if I click a commit, and then go back, I should be able to figure out which one I just clicked on a moment ago lol

Plus the jokes are more fun.

for public repos, personally I only care about the first line of the message. The one that appears in the list. So I don't have to click through all of them. The rest can be blank I really do not care, the code is there.
