There's a subset of people in Ireland who are legally required to write down an ID on their vehicle, that can be matched to a name/photograph in seconds.

Additionally, in plenty of European Countries, it's pretty common to write your name on your address: https://c8.alamy.com/comp/B01RP4/personal-name-plates-at-blo...

Unrealized gains can be taxed - for example, Ireland has a Deemed Disposal tax on ETF investments, where after 8 years, any gains are considered to have been realized and tax is due (even if no sale has taken place)

Definitely not new - as someone who was diagnosed with Haemochromatosis in 2017 - I was first prescribed phlebotomies until my general iron levels reached a level that my consultant was happy with.

Once I hit that level, I'm able to donate blood about twice a year (once every six months) to maintain (that, and a slightly changed diet to avoid high iron food)

You're focusing a bit much on the Developers bit. It's not just Developers who are working through the code-base.

As a lame example - Incident Response/SRE will also be trying to get their heads around changes being made - especially if they're responding to an outage, and trying to figure out what change broke production - and why it was made.

Not everyone will know every bit of the project as intimately as the Dev team - and having a good commit message will help any unfamiliar response team mitigate, or escalate accordingly.

{Tests, Code Comments, Documentation} are 3 distinct places to trawl through when quickly going through git blame.

The commit message is one place - and gives the author an opportunity to speak directly with a future developer over the place-in-time-context that this change was made.

The first line (or atleast, the first 80 characters) should be a quick summary - so you can quickly browse via git blame.

But the actual commit message should consist of History/Motivation/Context - so that someone who's going through the blame can understand why a certain change was made, and what the context was.

Linus had a good template for this, which makes a lot of sense: https://gist.github.com/finalfantasia/bd0070673ca27e5f7473

Research* shows that Twitter only accounts for a fraction of traffic that Facebook/Meta directs to News media.

So they'll have to compete elsewhere?

How is this anything but a win for consumers?

I've always considered this Malcolm in the Middle scene to perfectly explain Yak Shaving (a number of years before Yak Shaving was a thing).

But as you mentioned, No Yaks included however
