More commits == More money!!!

Real talk: I have worked at a company where an exec briefly had the bright idea to rank developers on number of commits made.

You can imagine how that turned out.

He wasn’t an exec for very long.

[-] QuazarOmega@lemy.lol 3 points 6 months ago

lmaoo, I can't believe someone actually did that and was serious about it.
I'm already imagining commits piling up with comments like:

  • "add a newline"
  • "move function up"
  • "rename variable users to user_list"
  • "Revert previous commit"
  • "no John, it's user_list and that's it, don't you dare change it again"

He wasn’t an exec for very long.

Good riddance I guess

Oh, no, we can do better.

Every single line of every single PR is an individual commit. And never squash-commit.

If you really want to nuke it from orbit: do it for every character.

It is absolutely technically feasible to go further than that, but I think that’s the point of diminishing returns in terms of effort.

Hah, I knew it would come to that

but I think that’s the point of diminishing returns in terms of effort

Not if you make another application to automatically split commits in that way... application which will need its own commits, it's never-ending
