Meh, as in this doesn’t feel like it really matters. Like other commenters, there are exceptionally few situations when I find myself just reading the commit log, so the claimed psychological advantage appears moot in the context of the common/standard software development process (which is very much not what author’s team does, so I acknowledge this approach brings specific measurable advantages for them).
When I do need to read the commit log, it’s typically for a third party component and I look for broad categories I need to pay attention to (security fix? Behaviour change?) — this aligns well with the conventional commits standard and well managed release notes. But, to not have to read commit logs, we also do the rest of the conventional software development workflow (PRs, team meetings, etc) that serves to build the awareness of what’s being done.
