I used and use Conventional Commits in private and professional projects and I think they have a place.

That being said, when I finally committed to using them something in me broke. Most of my career work was double faced. One face to the customer where you need to keep Tatemae under all circumstances (UI, Tickets, etc.). The other was the code and commit messages where you still kept your professionalism but you could be open and speak the language of your peers.

This time is over, maybe for good, but a tiny part of me misses it.
