> So even when you have a nicely structured commit history, you end up realizing that some things need to be changed and start appending a bunch of "fix" and "actual fix" commits at the end.

I have found that this no longer needs to be an issue with agentic coding tools.

Once I am happy with the end state of a branch, I tell Claude to rebuild the change from scratch as a set of atomic incremental commits. It adds about 2 minutes to the dev process, but creates a pr that is infinitely easier to review.

The overall thrust of the article is great, though. The tooling around prs needs a ton of attention.
