Comment on I've lately been making my git commit messages with AI

And what does it imply?

That an AI might be better at writing documentation than the average dev, who are largely inept at writing good documentation?

This sort of post is just bad faith, doesn’t actually make any conclusions, and is just a disguised way to shit on others as opposed to contributing to the discussion at hand.

And what does it imply?

it implies that the author of the code has no idea what they were doing.

  I disagree. I am capable of writing a good commit message, I just don’t really want to. Depending on the change, formulating a concise text that includes all relevant information can be quite time consuming.
  
  I can travel to Italy on foot. Will I do that? Of course not. What does it imply? That I’m incapable of moving my body? Of course not! It just means I’m too lazy to do it and that there are faster ways to get to the same goal.

    how do you write Pull-Requests? Just half-assing it?

  There is a saying, which I don’t generally agree with. Those who can, do. Those who can’t, teach. That said, writing good code and describing code effectively are two different skills, and there is no guarantee any given individual will have both.
