Vibe coding is a prime example of the sheep mentality we have in tech.

Some out of touch tech bro says something stupid, and a new industry / profession is born out of it.

one thing I've learned about teaching over the years is that if I make a negative statement (like “git commits aren't stored as diffs"), it doesn't really work -- often people will just ignore it, especially if it contradicts their current mental model

so I always have to figure out how to make a positive statement, and make it in a way that will convince people whose mental model is different right now

convincing people to adjust their mental models is really hard!

Don't comment bad code rewrite it.

Imposing conventional commits plus an issue number
when everyone commits:

chore: very important commit (NOISSUE)

is ... kind of an idiot convention with zero value other than burden.

You might as well ditch the enforcement. The result will be the same.

For the record: chore means "miscellaneous commits e.g. modifying .gitignore"
