I guess they're supposed to be ironic, but I really don't get the point of being able to add cutesy icons to bug reports.

EDIT: Also, keep those damn kids off my lawn.

Why not add some spice to one of the most tedious, thankless and tense (bug reports sometimes get accusatory and turn into finger-pointing) parts of the development process?

Going with your tongue-in cheek oldschoolness joke, I guess it's a relatively modern concept that serious work doesn't necessarily require a fake-serious demeanor. And yet clients would probably trust a lawyer wearing jeans less. Oh well, one step at a time, I guess.

Walrus pictures, to me, feel like fake-fun, not a crack in the facade of fake-seriousness.

The first time I saw an emoji in a commit message I cried a little.

Cursing in a commit message bothers me far more than an emoji. It's an effective way to communicate a larger idea.

:sparkle: version bump to 0.1.0 :sparkle:

would be easily be seen in a list for instance. That said, emoji overuse is annoying (as with everything else).

Flagged. This does not belong on HN.
