Mês que vem, completo 4 anos no Openlayer. Aproveitei o feriado para refletir sobre algumas das lições que aprendi até aqui: cgustavo.substack.com/p/lico…

We were tired of manually writing git commits for @linear issues. So I built a @raycast extension. Simply copy the Linear issue ID → hit your hotkey → paste the commit message. That's it! Why build it? We love how you can link Git commits to @linear issues. However, doing this while also following other best practices (like Conventional Commits) made writing commit messages painful. For example, for a Linear issue with ID 'ENG-123' and title 'Some bug', we'd have to: 1. Type the commit type ('fix') 2. Copy the Linear issue ID from Linear 3. Paste it with 'closes' (or some other magic word) → 'fix(closes ENG-123):' 4. Copy the Linear issue title from Linear 5. Paste it → 'fix(closes ENG-123): Some bug' 6. Lowercase the first letter → 'fix(closes ENG-123): some bug' We'd bounce between Linear and Terminal 3+ times, copying/pasting/editing until we got it right. The team was rightfully complaining that the process was annoying. We even considered changing how we name Linear issues to minimize the number of edits. That's why I built the @raycast extension! Behind the scenes, the extension fetches the Linear issue with the specified ID using Linear's API and constructs the full commit command. The conventional commit type ('fix', 'chore', 'docs', etc.) is inferred from the Linear issue label. The extension is private to the @openlayerco org, because it follows our commit message formatting, but hopefully you can build your own version of this!
