I turned off copilot but I still like AI writing my commit message. It's better then "Did stuff".

@grumpygamer “Did stuff” takes less environment resources…

[grumpygamer@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@CStamp That is very true.

@grumpygamer @CStamp
Doesn't that just generate a message saying what the changes are, instead of why the changes were done?
You can get the what from the diff, but the why is something else.

@grumpygamer this makes me feel so much better about my commit messages.

@grumpygamer I guess I'm the odd one out, but I kinda like writing commit messages. It's that mini rant in prose I get to do where I can explain and complain about all the shit I've tried and why I chose this particular solution.
I like that as a reflection of my work and I often notice something that I missed or haven't fully thought through while writing.
But overthinking things is also my natural state of being, so...

@grumpygamer you can also keep using it for Mastodon posts. So far it is doing great.
