The Ultimate Full-Stack Workout: One Push Per Line Change
Description
A four-panel comic strip meme illustrating a conversation between a regular person and an extremely muscular character. In the first panel, the regular person, with orange hair and a yellow shirt, asks the buff character, 'WOW! HOW DID YOU GET LIKE THAT?'. Over the muscular character's chest is a grey box resembling a GitHub commit counter, showing an absurdly high number: '69,420,964 commits'. In the second panel, the buff character explains, 'EVERY TIME I change a line...'. In the third panel, he continues, '...I DO ONE PUSH'. In the final panel, the orange-haired person stares in horror, exclaiming, 'JESUS CHRIST.'. The meme satirizes terrible version control hygiene by taking the concept of frequent commits to an illogical extreme. Pushing every single line change would create a nightmarishly cluttered commit history, spam the CI/CD pipeline, and make code reviews utterly impossible, highlighting a complete misunderstanding of atomic commits and proper Git workflow

The pull request contains 69,420,964 commits. The reviewer left one comment: 'Can you squash this?'
"Atomic commits are great - until each electron gets its own SHA and running git bisect feels like applying for beam time at CERN."
This is what happens when someone takes 'commit early, commit often' so literally that their git log looks like a keystroke logger and their commit messages have devolved into single emoji because writing 'fixed typo' 69 million times broke their spirit
Ah yes, the legendary 69 million commit developer - proof that 'atomic commits' can be taken to subatomic levels. At this rate, their git log is longer than the Linux kernel's entire history, and `git bisect` would take until heat death of the universe. Meanwhile, their PR reviewers have aged into retirement trying to understand why changing a semicolon required 47 separate commits. This is what happens when you interpret 'commit early, commit often' as 'commit every keystroke, commit every breath.'
In a guarded monorepo, one push per line is the fastest way to DDoS your own CI and turn Git history into Kafka
This is what happens when 'push on save' meets a monorepo with required checks - every semicolon funds another hour of GitHub Actions and 400 Slack notifications
Virgin dev rebases to a clean history. Chad dev: one push, monorepo commit count escapes Git's int32 limit
Why line, not character? Comment deleted
not character, but byte Comment deleted
That breaks unicode in about half of the commits) Comment deleted
no one cares about unicode if you use koi8 Comment deleted
But there a character is literally synonimous to a byte. The only case where they are different are multibyte encodings, and I don't know any besides various unicodes (although there most likely are some) Comment deleted
"character" has over 9000 meanings, and the one that end user usually thinks of, is definitly not byte synonym (at least in case of unicode) Comment deleted
You must have misunderstood my statement - your statement accords to mine, i.e. "in multibyte encodings, such as all the unicodes, a character isn't the same as a byte". And, overall, even in terms of bare abstractions, when we're talking about texts, it's better to treat character as the fundamental unit, because there are many different ways to represent text in binary, so there's no good way to strictly associate characters to bytes Comment deleted
Oh, yes. I need more sleep Comment deleted
