> Who goes digging into old commit messages to understand what a piece of code does? I know I don't. If long-term-ism in commit messages isn't something you care about (which is understandable), then consider short-term benefits. When working with my team, I'm able to read some of their recent commits and understand very clearly what's being worked on, without needing to dive into the code or have daily stand-ups which aren't producing any value on their own. Think of it as an asynchronous way of describing what you're working on, and the broader context.
