I was working at a company that hired a lot of people new to dev. So one guy, comes to us saying his commits arent matching the standard they want. I see his commits, and I see like 50 of them that just say stuff like "fixing the bug", "finally fixing the bug", I tried to tell him, try to describe what the code is changing / doing with this commit as if you had to explain it to you mom. He gave me a look like I was crazy and proceeded to ask someone else for help. I assume he's still committing with awful messaging that matches their desired format.
