I write them for my future self.

In this context we're talking about a side project which presumably won't have a PR where the commit messages are cleaned up (at least I don't do PRs for my own side projects).

If I'm on a branch then I will write junk commits and clean them up before merging to main if I actually manage to get the feature right.
