The code is the present truth, the commit messages can inform you about how it got turned into this truth. Interestingly, I recently wrote a short article about this: https://agateau.com/2026/on-commit-messages/

I wonder if the spare fiber connections could be use to mesh houses together, in a kind-of decentralized way?

I disagree with this: commit messages should explain the Why. For the What, I can read the diff. Sadly, many commit messages are about the What.

I guess it does not help that I dislike conventional commits :)

Would be curious to know if it works better than writing the Why as human-friendly paragraphs in the body of the commit message.

Most LLM articles depress me. At least this one made me smile, even if it's more about turning a dog into a random generator and generating games from random input.

Another one: depending on the language, 0 is either singular or plural. In French it's singular and it's always fun to see the denial in the eyes of my French colleagues when I tell them that 0 is plural in English.

> I have a very long regular expression (email validation of course) that doesn't fit on one line but no solutions I have found properly break the lines on page overflow.

Have you considered manually splitting the regular expression into multiple lines in the source document, using something like the `VERBOSE` mode from Python re module [1]?

I'd rather not. Never rode one, but I heard bullets are really impractical vehicles. My bike seems much more comfortable.

I used to take the subway in Paris. Now I ride a bike, carefully. I don't ignore traffic lights. And even riding this way I am always surprised that I'm faster than the subway. No connections, no wait, arriving directly at the exact destination helps.

Not to mention no need to stand in an overcrowded metal box.

I'd prefer a bullet, if it's traveling at 20km/h.
