I massively disagree. It would have taken the author approximately 1 minute to write the following high quality hack-n-slash commit message:

``` Big rewrites

* Rewrote X

* Deleted Y

* Refactored Z ```

Done

Different people work differently.

Spending a minute writing commit messages while prototyping something will break my flow and derail whatever I’m doing.

Many times it is “threw everything out and started over” because the fundamental design and architecture was flawed. Some things have no incremental fix.
