I left some details out of the post to make it shorter.

What I’m actually is doing is generating a 7-digit incremental number followed by a fixed 0. Some UIs show 7 characters and some show 8, this felt like a nice compromise. Plus it’s easier to distinguish between the prefix and the suffix when looking at the full SHA when they are always separated by a 0.
