No, you didn't read the comment fully, or you only disagree with part of it. Because, you clearly missed this part:

> I still advocate for cleaning up and squashing your own commits as you see fit with an interactive rebase before your branch is merged.

If you do that, you don't end up with 'small, poorly named commits'. Or if you do, you have a lazy programmer / an idiot programmer in the team.

Which certainly happens, but, they ruin everything. You can't start shooting down processes, languages, tools, or anything else in the programmer space __just__ because some moron who abuses it ends up in a bad place. You need to show that a tool / feature / process / hook / etc turns otherwise fine, capable programmers into idiots in order to advocate for its abolishment. Not the other way around, or you end up with a blunt rock and a club and are then debating that they're holding the club at the wrong end.
