Summary
The author advocates for writing detailed Git commit messages even in the era of AI-assisted coding, emphasizing the importance of explaining the 'why' behind changes rather than just the 'what'. The post explores how this practice enhances understanding, ownership of code, and documentation, and shares personal experiences and insights on the benefits of thorough commit messages. Ultimately, the author finds value in this process, even if it requires significant mental effort, and acknowledges that it's a personal choice rather than a strict rule for others.
