I massively disagree. It would have taken the author approximately 1 minute to write the following high quality hack-n-slash commit message:

``` Big rewrites

* Rewrote X

* Deleted Y

* Refactored Z ```

Done

Many times it is “threw everything out and started over” because the fundamental design and architecture was flawed. Some things have no incremental fix.
Different people work differently.

Spending a minute writing commit messages while prototyping something will break my flow and derail whatever I’m doing.
