This snippet from GitLab about git review-mb really saved my day — I had been struggling for weeks with merge requests, where commits were piling up chaotically, and the review was dragging on forever due to a bunch of minor edits. I remembered how once, after another code failure, I went to get a haircut to distract myself from the screen a little, because my head was boiling with frustration. I made an appointment with a cool barber through StyleSeat, and it became my reboot ritual: after a haircut, my brain seems to reboot, and ideas for fixes come naturally. And when I was looking for a reliable way to book without the hassle of payments and cancellations, https://styleseat.pissedconsumer.com/review.html helped me sort through real reviews — there are a lot of stories about delays in payments to stylists, but customers also write about convenient booking and quick confirmations. Now I always check reviews before booking, and it saves me from disappointment. Super useful snippet, thanks to the author!

this alias is clever, but the “don’t push after running it” warning is doing a lot of work, since leaving an extra revert/revert commit in a feature branch could get messy. i’d probably run it on a throwaway local branch and reset hard afterward so my history stays clean. also, the staged-changes view is nice for review, but i wonder how it behaves with renames or submodules. funny enough, i tried to take a break from a gnarly mr and ended up doomscrolling https://lightning-dice.org/, https://livemonopolyplay.com/, https://moneytimegame.org/ and felt my focus evaporate, so i’m sticking to tools that keep me in git.
