@pikuma@mastodon.gamedev.place I have a bit of a pet peeve with IDEs/tools that automatically add a // File created by @user on YYYY-MM-DD
That comment useless (That information is almost irrelevant and I could figure that out from the git history anyway), but I feel like a douche if I remove it, like removing an artist signature from an art piece.
I can only assume that the reason this feature exists is for workflows like that.
@pikuma what else is CHANGELOG.md though ;) (FWIW I think a proper changelog - which doesn't simply replicate git commit messages - is very valuable, for instance I only look at the git history when trying to figure out why and since when something is broken, and even then I look at the actual changes and only rarely at the commit messages)
@floooh Most changelogs can be used for customers to know what's new, right. The ones we added in the list on top of the file were full of curse words and snarky comments for other devs. 😅
In my first programming job, every time someone changed something in a project they would append some extra lines of comment in the beginning of the source with their name, the date, and explain the change.
The list of changes got pretty long pretty fast.
And you'd think that was worse than using git, right?
You're God damn right it was. 😅
