Thanks For The Help

Ah, the classic bait-and-switch of programming education! Kids think they're entering a magical world of creativity with drag-and-drop blocks and cute animations, only to discover their future involves staring at terminal windows for hours debugging merge conflicts. It's like expecting to become a chef by playing cooking games, then discovering real kitchens involve mostly dishwashing and knife sharpening. The gap between Scratch/educational programming and "rm -rf node_modules && npm install" is the greatest plot twist in tech careers.

The four stages of debugging code you wrote six months ago: 1. Confusion: "I don't have a clue what I'm doing." 2. Self-diagnosis: "It must be imposter syndrome!" 3. Reality check from colleague: "Nope, just incompetence." 4. Denial: "Definitely imposter syndrome." And that's why we comment our code. Not that I do. But we should.

Content How to get GenZ developers to stop using emojis in commit messages and PR titles? I am 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: "Fixed bug in login function Or "Optimized sqc algorithm I" or "fix lint Go" and " : handle null pointer exception y" I find 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 don't seem to care. They even put emojis as variable names in Kotlin, apparently you can do it using back ticks, I didn't 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? What's that even mean? How can I 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. Thanks. 550 Comments Share g Unsave 162 people here (
