What purpose does the id parameter doing this URL? The site does not work without it.

Anybody who has experience in running infra for ML/AI/Data pipeline systems, are they drastically different from regular infra?

To understand your point of view, is this because you have seen very bad commit messages (I have too!) like "fixed" repeating 700 times and now come to believe it's a pointless thing in the grand scheme of things anyway?

Thanks for sharing this! This kind of quick and easy grasp one pagers is how this type of things should be done. We should drum it up loud whenever we can.

This reminds me of the time when I put extra effort to write good commit messages, explain 'the theory'[1] behind when it makes sense, name Chesterton's fences and generally provide guidance to the future engineer who has to look through this to understand why something was done in a certain way.

This was a delayed project running out of budget and everything had to be completed within a few months. However, the management in it's infinite wisdom also did a complete source code/issue management platform change.

The person who did the repo migration went with the default settings. (I believe this was the case. I forget the details. I would also only half blame the person because everything was rushed)

Everything up to that point was committed with "Made by so and so bot".

This was way ahead of Google was allegedly committing "well over 30%" of code by AI. I witnessed the true pioneers in this space.
