A dev culture that produces nothing but wip and fix bug commits (frequently adding unrelated refactors) will continue to produce noise but prefixed with chore(code): fix bug. I fail to see the benefit behind this and conventional commits.

I do not understand why people insist on trowing inane technical solutions at social problems. It doesn't work.

`chore(code): fix bug` doesn't follow conventional commits, so it's not at great example for this point.

In my experience conventional commits tend to lower character counts and improve the readability of messages. `bug(auth): adjust XYZ` is shorter than `fix auth bug by adjusting XYZ`.
