Working professionals are, if at all competent, entirely capable of writing their own commit messages.
If they can’t write the commit message, they can’t sufficiently explain in writing the commit they just made to anyone. So, they should not be working professionally.
The fact this is controversial is a clear sign of the Slopocalypse.

Now I definitely know you haven’t seen a real professional codebase. Professional git repos are full of one sentence commit messages with little to no explanation of what’s in the change set. Humans suck at communication, especially when there’s pressure to get product features out the door. AI driven repos are full of beautifully summarized commits with clear explanations of architectural choices, change motivation, etc.
