The \"normal\" ones who strive to make their day-to-day lives as easy as possible and the Robbie's of the world who strive to do everything themselves until the last line of code is sealed in a changelog. \n\nOn that note, do you prefer conventional commits? Or the tools out there that make organization easier and, sometimes, automated? Chuck and Robbie don't see eye-to-eye on this particular topic so prepare yourself for the mildest smackdown of the century.\n\nIn this episode, Chuck and Robbie discuss the pros and cons of release-it, the beauty of working system-agnostic, why Robbie prefers the changelog, and an attempt to stay abreast of frameworks like fresh coming into focus. \n\nKey Takeaways\n\n * [00:33] - A whiskey review - Howler Head Banana Whiskey.\n * [09:12] - A mild smackdown on conventional commits versus release-it. \n * [15:23] - Why Chuck and Robbie prefer the changelog. \n * [20:35] - What is fresh? And Robbie leaks some internal R&D.\n * [26:42] - What Robbie thinks about the Chevy Blazer EV and SUVs in general.\n * [44:55] - How Chuck and his family acquired a Recall box. \n\nQuotes\n\n[09:55] - \"I don't dislike release-it. Let's be clear there. I just don't want to have to physically do anything beyond opening the pull request and closing the pull request.\" ~ @CharlesWthe3rd [https://twitter.com/CharlesWthe3rd]\n\n[13:01] - \"I'm not a big fan of conventional commits because it adds a lot of noise to your commit log.\" ~ @rwwagner90 [https://twitter.com/rwwagner90]\n\n[15:06] - \"I just think that you [Robbie] are different than a lot of engineers in that you're like, 'I want to touch and do all the things for all 16 jobs, I just want to do it myself and make sure it hits to the end' and other engineers are like, 'what script can I write to never do this again?'\" ~ @CharlesWthe3rd [https://twitter.com/CharlesWthe3rd]\n\nLinks\n\n * Howler Head Kentucky Banana Bourbon Whiskey [https://www.howlerhead.com]\n * Suggest a Whiskey on Twitter!
