[text] How to get GenZ developers to stop using emojis in commit messages and PR titles Tam a senior developer and tech lead at a software company. Recently we hired some fresh graduates who are very talented and enthusiastic but they have a habit of using emojis in their commit messages. For example they would write something like X Fixed bug in login function or Optimized sqc algorithm 57 or fix lint and handle null pointer exception Ifind this very unprofessional and annoying as it makes the commit history hard to read and understand. I have tried to talk to them and explain the importance of clear and concise commit messages but they dont seem to care. They even put emojis as variable names in Kotlin apparently you can do it using back ticks I didrt even know this. edit this seemed to be just a one time joke and they took out during code review They just laugh to my teams message with a clown emoji and a tomato Whats that even mean How can 1 get them to stop using emojis in their commit messages Is this a common problem in the industry How do you handle it in your team Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated.
