Real talk: I have worked at a company where an exec briefly had the bright idea to rank developers on number of commits made.
You can imagine how that turned out.
He wasn’t an exec for very long.

lmaoo, I can’t believe someone actually did that and was serious about it.
I’m already imagining commits piling up with comments like:
- “add a newline”
- “move function up”
- “rename variable
userstouser_list” - “Revert previous commit”
- “no John, it’s
user_listand that’s it, don’t you dare change it again”
He wasn’t an exec for very long.
Good riddance I guess
Oh, no, we can do better.
Every single line of every single PR is an individual commit. And never squash-commit.
