Removed double quotes, added single quotes

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 35 points 1 year ago (1 children)

someone later on -m "removed single quotes, added double quotes"

More commits == More money!!!

[–] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] QuazarOmega@lemy.lol 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Talk about atomic commits

[–] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] QuazarOmega@lemy.lol 1 points 1 year ago

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

Why do u prefer single quotes?

[–] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not Shall330, but double quotes can imply variables in the string in some languages.

[–] muntedcrocodile@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Which languages are these?

[–] bitchkat@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

PHP for one. "$x" will interpret the variable $x. '$x' does not.

[–] muntedcrocodile@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well there's ya problem ur using php.

[–] Schal330@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I have no preference! It was to do with Spring/yaml config and some really strange conflict which required the use of single quotes. I'm still a total noob in the world of software dev, so I wouldn't be able to explain why it worked 🤣
