From the article:
We also found that bug-fixing commits by authors tended to be larger in size and scope, and address multiple issues, whereas bug-fixing commits by other developers tended to be smaller and more focused on the bug itself.
- ziml77 5y agoThis makes sense. If I'm fixing a bug in code I'm not super sure about, I want the change to be as focused as possible because even if it looks like it should be made into a bigger change, I don't know what the knock-on effects will be. There's also a matter of not being sure if the desire to rewrite a large chunk just comes down to personal preference.
- andai 5y agoYeah, in my case at least "what the hell were they thinking" comes down not to them having solved the problem incorrectly, but a difference in the shapes of our minds.
