There are two types of engineers. The “normal” ones who strive to make their day-to-day lives as easy as possible and the Robbie’s of the world who strive to do everything themselves until the last line of code is sealed in a changelog. 
On that note, do you prefer conventional commits? Or the tools out there that make organization easier and, sometimes, automated? Chuck and Robbie don’t see eye-to-eye on this particular topic so prepare yourself for the mildest smackdown of the century.
In this episode, Chuck and Robbie discuss the pros and cons of release-it, the beauty of working system-agnostic, why Robbie prefers the changelog, and an attempt to stay abreast of frameworks like fresh coming into focus.

Quotes
[09:55] - “I don’t dislike release-it. Let’s be clear there. I just don’t want to have to physically do anything beyond opening the pull request and closing the pull request.” ~ @CharlesWthe3rd
[13:01] - “I’m not a big fan of conventional commits because it adds a lot of noise to your commit log.” ~ @rwwagner90
[15:06] - “I just think that you [Robbie] are different than a lot of engineers in that you’re like, ‘I want to touch and do all the things for all 16 jobs, I just want to do it myself and make sure it hits to the end’ and other engineers are like, ‘what script can I write to never do this again?’” ~ @CharlesWthe3rd
