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.
lmaoo, I can't believe someone actually did that and was serious about it.
I'm already imagining commits piling up with comments like:
userstouser_list"user_listand that's it, don't you dare change it again"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.
Talk about atomic commits
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
Not if you make another application to automatically split commits in that way... application which will need its own commits, it's never-ending
