"fix ci" "Again" "Maybe?"
Every time I work on CIs I just lose it after 1 or 2 commits and squash merge later on. Also when integrating projects together (eg I'm working on a language and made a POC for a new parser in a separate project) I'm just like "hajzjgkzlabai yes"
2I know I'm having a bad day when my commit messages have question marks in them.
1You can tell when I've started to lose hope when my commits start becoming "Probably won't fix CI"

I just pushed "idefk", cause frankly, no idea what was in it, but it touched half the repo
2Empty commit message. Yes it's possible. Yes it's as bad as the cli tries to prevent it

git commit -m "._."for my personal js practice repo.

It broke the build right before a release and the commit message bore no relation to the changes, of course.
Because they had copied my message, it had my initials in. I had visits from irate managers in other buildings who ranted at me for a good 5 minutes without letting me get a word in to tell them that 1) it wasn’t me, and 2) undoing a subversion commit was a one-line command and not a good reason for the stupid amount of drama (there were no database or other irrevocable changes).
The last manager to speak to me told me it was still my fault as it was a bad message in the first place. The message read “Fixing typo in the audit log”.
