I haven't been able to find that in the app

I’d rather have «wip» commit messages, and thus forced to open the diff, than worrying of the message being hallucinated.

I’m totally cool with people using this as an initial draft and then manually tweaking it though.

Commits are annoying to write is in the same space as "variable names are annoying to write".

Communicating intent should be trivial or, if it's not, put effort into it because communication with that future dev may be essential .

Now, maybe some bullet points may suffice and quickly be reshaped by AI to make it more succinct and clear but you still should make the effort. The more you do it, the more it becomes an easy part.

The problem is when you copy and paste the same info in slightly different ways in many places and I can appreciate some form of suggestion around "you missed explaining why you want to change this part".

There's a space for AIb but it isn't "so that I don't need to think".

Imagine if the magic trick was:

1. They pour a large bowl of rice onto a table

2. They reveal the exact number of grains

Would this feel exciting as a card buried under the ground? No

Does this still require a lot of effort to count every grain? Yes

Applying a huge amount of effort doesn’t equal achieving the desired result (in this case the suspense, surprise and magical element)

The direction one is going is often even more important than the effort applied

The problem is that it requires the same effort to verify that the magician isn't just lying, and if there's some way to effortlessly verify the number, then that same method could have been used by the magician ahead of time. To capture the sense of something magical, the reveal has to be immediately obvious, but in a way that (seems like it) can't have been used by the magician to set things up.

I’ve seen this pattern repeated so many times that I feel like it can be generalized:

when your mental health collapses nothing else holds value, it really doesn’t matter if you achieved your dream job, got all the prestige and income you initially desired, being mentally healthy is the basis of the pyramid.

Something I learned based on that is to really prioritize it!

Even if someone considers their career to be everything, realize that spending some of your earnings seeking professional help (therapy) is even a cheap investment considering that if you break and have to quit, you’re going to lose hundreds of thousands, and to recover it will suck (I’ve heard of people trying to quit tech altogether after burning out)

Sneaking something else related to mental health: sleep should be #1 health wise, when you’re consistently not getting quality sleep for months, there’s nothing you can really do to get around that, it will eventually just break you (your body won’t care if you’re coping with coffe or exercising!)

Btw that’s great writing and I really appreciate your courage in sharing this! I hope you’ll find your joy again.

> I would like to see the original quote from the judge here. I doubt the original talked about 'Black people' the same way that (translated) phrase would be understood by an American audience.

I watched the judge’s talk here in Portuguese https://youtu.be/qQYoE0xBkCo?si=wWfJf7Wjs4NKpO_5

Alexandre de Moraes referred to data that he had which showed that a young illiterate black guy will be considered a dealer with 20g of cannabis, while a middle aged graduated white man will need 60g for the same to happen. He also talks about what happens after someone gets caught with cannabis, they have to go watch a lecture, but since there’s no punishment for not attending it, nobody shows up.

His intention is to remind everyone that the current state of the law is ineffective and ends up affecting only the underprivileged (while not discounting punishment for those who really are trying to sell drugs and benefit from it, mentioning that a person getting caught in the act of selling should be really punished).
