Use OpenAI to generate git commits

A python script that when run will look at the files committed to git staging and uses a openai api key from the zsh environment and write a commit summary, and use that to commit the changes.

Uses uv to make this a standalone script.

Written using Claude.

I use this to automatically generate git commits to my blog source code.

My Observation on our Employee Survey results

To: All AT&T Managers

Thank you to the over 99,000 employees who responded to this year's Employee Survey. Your feedback helps us understand what we need to focus on—and how we need to communicate — as we strive toward our goal of ranking in the top third of Fortune 100 companies in employee engagement. It is incredibly encouraging that 73% of our employees took the time to respond to the survey, with 79% of those respondents feeling committed and engaged with their work at AT&T. While this is reassuring, especially considering the amount of change we've navigated as a company recently, it wasn't a surprise to me that we fell short of our engagement goal. Nor was it a surprise that scores declined since our 2023 survey. We are midstream on a multi-year journey to build the company we want, not simply optimize the one we have — and I believe your feedback accurately reflects where we are.

In the survey you asked for transparency in communication from leadersh

gwenshap recording setup

Source

A lot of folks asked for it, so here we go:

  • Camera:
    • Sony FX30, recording directly to my laptop via USB.
    • Lens: Sigma 16mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary Lens (Sony E)
    • Camera tripod is on my desk: Oben CTT-1000 Carbon Fiber Tabletop Tripod (I tried about 100 tripods and setups. This one works. Barely).
  • Lights:
    • I have two warm, bright lights (4000k): one to my front and right, showing my face, and the other on my back and left, bouncing off a wall and my hair. The technically correct setup has two front lights, but I ran out of room.
  • Both are: Amaran COB 60x S Bi-Color LED Monolight
