Lately it’s been all conferences, front-end celebrities, and very serious topics. And honestly? I’m tired…
Tired of ambitious topics - not of blogg...

Or my favorite is the messages when they first push something:
🤣🤣
this is me before ai lol now im just generate it with emoji
I'm guilty.
You could write a book worth of a text to express that initial commit. I should start using 'See the README.md'
No worries, we’re all guilty 😂
Honestly, ‘See the README.md’ might be the cleanest initial commit message I’ve ever heard.
If it contains enough information, it is valid. But we are not the best at documenting our code.
Agreed! Enough information is definitely the goal - but let’s be honest, documenting code isn’t exactly our strongest hobby 😅
Succinct and Accurate?! Guilty lol
If being succinct and accurate is wrong, I don’t wanna be right 😂
Hahaha yes, especially when it’s the first and the last commit in the whole repo xD
Mine were always something like
🤣🤣 I claimed the worst committer award years ago!
OMG I’m crying 😂
These are elite commit messages - especially ‘last one…’ followed by ‘and I lied’.
That’s basically the universal developer cycle 😭💛
Honestly, I think you and I could easily co-own the ‘worst committer’ trophy 😂🔥
now it is a good day 😄
I remember using a f****ng swear word in a commit message once, and only once, to find out there was an automated bot service quoting that kind of commits on social media with random images of toilets. 😲🚽🤣
HAHA no way 😂🚽
A single swear in a commit and suddenly you’re featured in ‘Toilets Weekly’ thanks to an automated bot.
That’s legendary!
😂😂
initial commitandsome minor fixesare by far my favorites… some kind of TL;DR for code.Absolutely! Those two are the ultimate TL;DR of coding 😂
And as always - love seeing your comments, Pascal!
My favorite from the repository at work...
That's it. That's the commit message.
OMG 😂 the truest expression of a dev losing an argument with their code.
I usually follow conventional commit rules, but sometimes I'll write some beautiful meaningless messages like:
I hope I won't have to spend time revisiting this commit again.
Haha I 100% feel this - we all try to follow the rules, but those ‘beautifully meaningless’ commits sneak in every now and then 😄
And yes, fingers crossed that future-you never has to debug that one again 😂
These are painfully relatable 😂
My personal favorites from past projects were:
“why does this even work??” and “I’ll fix this later” (never fixed).
Funny how commit history becomes the real documentary of a developer’s mental state. Great post!
Hahaha yes, exactly! ‘Why does this even work??’ is such a universal dev scream 😅
And ‘I’ll fix this later’… the most famous lie in our entire profession 😂
You’re so right - commit history really is a documentary of our mental state.
Thanks for the kind words! 💛
im using gitbutler and suddenly all the commit message is beautiful also really easy for newbie to git
Good to know everything is now fully compatible with the M1 architecture. I’ve been holding off on updating Dreamweaver because of extension issues, so this is really helpful. Also appreciate the heads-up about reinstalling everything for the 2021 version, saves a lot of confusion. Wappler sounds interesting too, might give it a try.
I've been there - like what more can you say "hotfix", "make it work", etc...
Recently I've been using Gitmoji recently for all my commits.
And - I actually think my commit messages are better now!
Haha totally! At some point all commits become ‘pls work’ variations 😅
And yes - Gitmoji is SUCH an upgrade. It makes everything clearer and way more fun!
Tiny update for everyone who enjoyed the chaos in this post 😅💛
I actually ended up building a small LLM in the browser that writes commit messages for you - fully local, no API, just pure JS + Transformers.js.
It’s very much a POC, but honestly? It was a super fun experiment.
If you want to try it: dev.to/sylwia-lask/i-put-an-llm-in...
🤖✨
git commit -m "Your commit message"🦥Hahaha the most universal commit command ever 😂❤️
These are hilarious 😂
This article made me feel way better about my own chaotic commit messages.
It is so true! You need to program an AI to help there :). Voila, you can relax.
You’re right! Once AI starts writing my commit messages, I’ll finally have time to actually write code 😄
hahaha. It is so true.
At Google (at least), they call it a "rollforward"
Absolutely love it!!! Rollforward is honestly the best PR spin for ‘we messed up twice’ I’ve ever heard 😂🔥
HAHA this is the full developer spiritual journey 😭
Start in Rust, escape to Go, suffer in C++, recover in Python… and then return to Rust like nothing happened 😂🔥
Absolute masterpiece.
This is why I've been letting my coding agents write my commit messages. It always does a better job than I do.
Totally! AI writes commits, I write confessions 😂
