Never seen that in any company I worked at either and I can’t believe professional developers seem to think that it would be ok to write meaningless commit messages. That’s just so sloppy.

When your boss looks only at the business output and your most prolific developer writes "save" for commit messages, it gets real hard to enforce a commit message policy. "It's hard to review"? Your boss doesn't care about that and it slows the 10x guy down. These days I just run an LLM on the commits to annotate them (via git notes) based on context.
