My git history for this project is a crime scene.
fix. fix again. ok this one. actually fix. pls. There are seventeen commits in one afternoon that are basically just timestamps with no useful information attached.
The AI moves faster than I can write good commit messages. By the time I've tested what just got generated, I want to move on to the next thing, not document what happened. So I don't. I just push.
I've made peace with it.
The commit log for Tutorroo is not a useful record of what happened or why. It is, however, evidence that things kept moving. Green squares on GitHub. Features that work. A quiz my son uses before school most mornings.
At some point I stopped worrying about what the git history looked like and started caring about what the product did. The product works. The history looks like the aftermath of building at 11pm while half-watching television — which is exactly what it is.
Not every process has to be clean. Some processes just have to produce a thing that runs.
