I was looking through various RCON tools and found this. Someone does not like commit messages.
Not really programming horror. Just open source. They did something, are kind enough to make it open, they don't care about commit messages so what?

This. Like if they are working for free for the public good, don't complain if they don't do it thoroughly enough. If someone volunteers to pick up trash from the park, you wouldn't complain if he misses some things or stops before the whole park is clean.
For me, the thing is, commit messages aren't just for other people. They can be invaluable in case you need to look back for something. I even write them for my personal repos that aren't even on the internet, because it's really just kinda dumb not to.
Yeah, but that doesn't mean that everyone else has to work as methodical as you do for any project they do. Even if it is more efficient and saves time in the long term.
