When starting from nothing, usually I commit broken code with blank messages to a develop branch, then squash all the commits into master with a better description latter.

Not committing anything and losing it all by accident because you're obsessing about micro-commits and a clean history that nobody is ever going to read is a much worse alternative.

Small commits and good descriptions become useful once you have some foundation that's not in a high state of flux and you need to track what change broke something. You don't need this at the draft stage.
