Brevity

They say brevity is the soul of wit. This is expecially true for programming where the more you write the farther from efficiency you get.

Even knowing that I always struggle to make managable git commits. I have no problem writing small code, but whenever version control is involved the desire to fix x and y and z gets the better of me.

Sure smaller commits are easier to review, but what about the cognitive load of fighting your urge to write long commits ? It might sound like a joke but is it really ?
