This is great advice.

> There's no need to justify that your changes are "in accordance with best practices", tell a story about "ongoing efforts" (unless you actually have other recent commits that you want to group together like that conceptually), etc.

LLMs are very prone to generalisation and marketing language like this. Despite being sycophants, they are also trained to speak as if they constantly have to justify and persuade.

This is called out in the Wikipedia meta I linked to in another comment. They're great red flags to look out for in any writing; humans, myself included, often used this kind of lazy construction!
