As someone who has both cursed and blessed the names popping up in git blame as I’m trying to understand why something is the way it is; I cannot even begin to sympathize with this.

The author has a seemingly naive notion of the lifecycle code; commit messages matter a lot less if you have deep thorough documentation in the general case.

But obviously not all code is being written in those types of environments. In fact I’d venture the vast majority of commits have no associated code review thread.

Sometimes my little project I’m working on myself , which has no code reviews, eventually gets grows and has others involved; but the early history remains.
