Showerthoughts

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

So I created this blog from scratch, and after posting my first article I noticed something.

I suffer from post-Post clarity

I have noticied before when posting random bullshit online, but holy shit, now having to write longer stuff, it's clear as day.

As soon as I press the publish button even after re-reading the whole thing, everywhere I look is spelling/grammar mistakes and stupid takes.

How in hell does this happen?

Anyways as a proof of concept any edit will be in comment thread.

You can look at the git logs for any open-source project if you want to feel better about it: there's usually a regular pattern of:
do this for all the things.
Followed by either:
hang on, wait. Not *all* the things.
Or:
Missed these out of all the things

Yeah . . . many of my commits are just to fix typos.

In case you don't know, you can do an interactive rebase and amend any past commit, not only the latest.

If the commits were already pushed to a remote, you can still do it but need to add --force or --force-with-lease to your next git push to make it overwrite the remote branch.
