An important reminder that writing is thinking, even when it comes to commit messages.
I have sometimes written detailed messages I did not end up needing (yet!) but I have never regretted it, because I don’t know when writing whether I will need it, and if I do, I cannot go back in time to have written it. Better to spend a little extra time writing down something I may not end up needing than to rush past that opportunity and lose it forever.
