In Apple’s recent OS update, they generously included a new emoji: “live long and prosper” aka “Spock salute”. Pictured below in case your system doesn’t support it natively:

Live long and prosper emoji
 

 

I like Star Trek and I like Spock, so I went ahead and registered Live long and prosper emoji.ws
For now it just forwards to this blog, I’ll see if I can come up with something more clever in the future.

Whenever I start a new project, I struggle with what to put in the very first commit message. After doing a “git init” there is technically nothing there and no work done yet, so how to describe this initial step?

Initial commit” always seemed a little futile, so I started gathering some better examples on what to put in the message for the glorious start of a new project and I am sharing them here for all of you to marvel at:

This is where it all begins...
Commit committed
Version control is awful
COMMIT ALL THE FILES!
The same thing we do every night, Pinky - try to take over the world!
Lock S-foils in attack position
This commit is a lie
I'll explain when you're older!
Here be Dragons
Reinventing the wheel. Again.
This is not the commit message you are looking for
Batman! (this commit has no parents)

Or, you know, just use whatthecommit.com.

I’m always happy for comments with further ideas and will be adding to this list constantly.

<Pomax> 20 years from now, someone is going to have the radical idea to give users access to the underlying OS, rather than to the browser API, and he will be heralded a revolutionary.
<Pomax> All manner of programming languages will pop up that work outside “the browser”, giving access to “offline” applications, storing files in “user space”, even perhaps running in something called “kernel mode”.
<Pomax> It’ll be a brave new world.
<Mirell> It’s scary that’s believable.
