I Love Detailed Releases. I Hate Doing Them.

So I Made an AI Do It For Me. You know what's fun? Shipping code. You know what's not fun? The 47-step release ceremony afterwards where you squint at a diff, pretend you remember what you changed three days ago, write release notes that say "misc fixes," bump a version number wrong, forget to build, upload the wrong artifact, and then lie to your team about it in Slack.
