I think Odin is (mainly) written by a single dev. When I'm the solo dev on a project, I also don't put a lot of effort into commit messages.

- greaterthan3 4y agoEven if you're a solo dev, you will likely still have to debug your old code in the future. I'm sure most of HN is familiar with the Chesterton's fence. Proper commit messages aid you in understanding why the changes were made. This especially matters in complex codebases, like compilers.
