Empty commit message Memes

The double meaning hits different when you're a developer. You type git commit -m '' with an empty message and suddenly you're that person nervously sweating bullets. It's like showing up to a meeting completely unprepared – you're making a commitment alright, but what exactly are you committing to? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Just raw panic and the hope that your future self (or worse, your teammates) won't judge you too harshly for that beautifully descriptive empty string. Pro tip: this is how you end up with commit messages like "fix" or "stuff" or "asdfasdf" because anything is better than the void of nothingness staring back at you.
