There is a path between these two points of view.
Yes, a maths teacher wants to see the working to a problem, but the working can still be the second draft, written neatly and well explained. For a complicated problem, it should not be expected that someone will read through all the “scratch work”.
- lucumo 4y ago> For a complicated problem, it should not be expected that someone will read through all the “scratch work”. Do people really read through the changelog commit by commit? What's gained by that? I don't read through it at all. I zoom into a point that I need to know more about. I have information (bug report, runtime behaviour on other data) that allows me to zoom into a specific part. The information I have is from the committer's future. It's highly unlikely that the details needed are in the summary that they wrote.
