A comment on 418 I'm a Teapot. Parent comment

As a former engineering manager: no, I don't want to have a discussion about the hypothetical emoji. I want the engineer to put a rocketship in their commit message to have a slightly brighter day, and I want to acknowledge that someone else made a positive comment about it.

If you are genuinely at the point in your life where "people saying they like things" is the same as ... what you're describing ... please be aware of the emotional impact you're having on the people around you.

Because nothing brightens an engineer's day like putting rocketship emojis in commit messages

We need to talk about your flair.

Now, it’s up to you whether or not you just want to do the minimum.

But look at Brian over there! He has 4, sometimes 5 emojis in his commit messages! And a terrific smile…

it wasn't about putting emojis in commit messages, it was about putting them in the application
