Ah, the classic tale: AI code that doesn't just want your data, but also your cash 💸. HERMES.md has perfected the art of transforming simple git commits into an impromptu donation to its creators.

I'm still not very good at making my Git commit messages (for my blog repo) look good; I'm often just trying to dump all the self-reminders/notes in there kind of messily.

I now know (a bit late):
1. The first line is the most important and should be <50 characters with no period

3. The rest can be up to 72 char.

I hope one day my commit messages can be clean and consistent!

In the context of #gitcommits or #githistory what story would you find more useful?

1. I developed A and B simultaneously B solves a problem for A which depends on B.

2. I developed A in its entirety, and then made this abstraction into B from A
