Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

I like the idea. Or maybe marking such changes in the commit message... I might try to bring that up when the time comes.
in the current most-typical mode of engagement, commit messages are too disconnected from the actual contents. it requires someone who gives a shit to go looking
conversely, what I mean is something like "a hook that guarantees that the moment the plugin is engaged and output from it is scribed in source, metadata about that event is simultaneously co-written"
it's already generating a pile of other things, it may as well generate timestamps and callsig and callhash and shit too....
the number one problem with this, of course, is that it's going to be extremely unpopular with a Vocal Set Of People who rely on this shit to make themselves look good
