I don't know, I see emoji infiltrating my tools more and more. For example, I had to submit a PR to Yarn [1] to add a flag to disable the terrible things. GitHub uses emoji to indicate the type of commit [2].
I hate it.
Edit: I mean GitHub the company, not the product. Atom is maintained by GitHub.

- cygned 10y agoAre the emojis ([2]) actually from GitHub? I have never seen them in my repos.
- Matachines 10y agoThat's not GitHub but the Atom maintainers' commit style.
- jakebasile 10y agoI realize my phrasing was ambiguous, I meant GitHub as an organization, who maintain Atom, use Emoji in that project.
- majewsky 10y agoIt's nice how these emoji in [2] do not offer any advantage at all. In fact, they're worse than the appropriate words ("bump", "fix") because I can't Ctrl-F for them.
- jakebasile 10y agoI really do not understand the attraction to it. It makes things harder to read and understand. It can destroy terminal formatting. They're harder to type on physical keyboards. I don't often use emoji unironically in my personal life, but in computing tools it should be anathema.
