This reminds me of the time when I put extra effort to write good commit messages, explain 'the theory'[1] behind when it makes sense, name Chesterton's fences and generally provide guidance to the future engineer who has to look through this to understand why something was done in a certain way. This was a delayed project running out of budget and everything had to be completed within a few months. However, the management in it's infinite wisdom also did a complete source code/issue management platform change. The person who did the repo migration went with the default settings. (I believe this was the case. I forget the details. I would also only half blame the person because everything was rushed) Everything up to that point was committed with "Made by so and so bot". This was way ahead of Google was allegedly committing "well over 30%" of code by AI. I witnessed the true pioneers in this space. | ||
