A *very* seasoned software engineer, I wrote my first basic game, a lunar landing game, in Basic in 1969. Currently I am doing web development in Ruby on Rails, JavaScript, Elm.
this is not just a thing for beginners; seems like most devs, all the way along the spectrum just do not care about this. i see so many empty message bodies on commits, with just the title like you showed, one word which says zero about what was done and why.
anyway, good article and thanks for letting me get that off my chest

So true.
At least, if the title is explicit, it's okay. If it's not, a body is useful.
I think it's a good reminder for most developers.
Thank you for your comment! 😉
