Coding since 11yo, that makes it over 30 years now ~~~
Have a PhD in Comp Sci ~~~
Love to go on bike tours ~~~
I try to stay as generalist as I can in this crazy wide place coding is at now.
I just see commits a little units of work, less like people in a queue, more like bolts in a car. So personally I don't place any importance on timestamps, and am only concerned about commit ordering in so far as merge conflicts and other forms of clobbering.
Also I make extensive use of rebasing and that resets commit timestamps, so a lot of my work appears to have taken a day of thinking time and 0.01 sec to code up, looking at a git log anyway.
Thanks! Very good point. Git is a powerful tool that allows us to do a lot. In many ways the metadata can be altered by our actions to change the picture of how the work was completed that doesn't reflect the reality.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
Like the topic!
