Lately it’s been all conferences, front-end celebrities, and very serious topics. And honestly? I’m tired…
Tired of ambitious topics - not of blogging! 😄
It’s a quiet Sunday afternoon, nothing’s happening.
So if you somehow wandered in here, enjoy this small collection of the dumbest / funniest commit messages I remember from my projects.
📝 Repeated “Fixes”™
"fix"
"fix"
"fix-final"
"ok final fix"
"fix final final"
"fixed previous fix"
This is exactly what my DevOps’ commits looked like whenever he had to “quickly install something” into the code.
Luckily he always squashed later 😂
🛐 “Did the needful”
"did the needful"
My teammate’s classic message for the pointless “do it right now” tasks the manager dropped on us. 🙏
🔧 Build-Struggle Chronicles
"attempt to fix the build"
"ok, fix the build"
Let’s be honest… there were probably more attempts 😅
🔙 “Rollback the rollback”
"rollback the rollback"
Who among us hasn’t rollbacked a rollback? 🤷♂️
⚡ Demo-Driven Development™
"quick fix before the demo, forgive me"
Peak engineering culture. Peak survival instinct. 🌪️
🙏 “please work”
"please work"
Who hasn’t written this one, hoping the code will show mercy? 🥲
😵 “too tired to explain”
"too tired to explain"
A universal Friday-at-8-PM commit message.
🫣 The Pre-ESLint Era
"added a coma, now works fine"
One comma to rule them all.
🧨 “some minor fixes”
"some minor fixes"
100 lines changed.
Zero regrets. 😇
💬 Your turn!
Do you remember similar gems from your own projects?
Share them — let’s build the ultimate Hall of Fame of Terrible Commit Messages 😎
