my #1 job anxiety is that my pull requests create too much cognitive load for reviewers. i try really hard to explain everything, but processing explanations also creates cognitive load, so 🙃
other scattered thoughts:
- it's fine, this is what we are paid to do?
- front loading explanations is way better than
- i really wish that fixing the broken formatter configs wasn't blowing up ALL the diffs. imo it had to be done but i'm feeling pretty self-conscious about it!!!
- wait maybe somebody could run the formatter over the repo? that will fuck up the blames but let's face it the blames are already fucked
- i mean the real embarrassing thing is just that all i needed to do was add a single line and what i did was refactor a bunch of spacing i found confusing until it didn't confuse me anymore. but that's potentially at the cost of confusing everyone else. why am i Like This
- look the way the spacing was implemented was NOT maintainable and honestly it still needs work
- also i'm always afraid i'll regress something.... idk why i'm afraid, it's happened before, people catch these things, i get a chance to fix them, it's fine
- it's about time i enter weekend mode ugh
edit: lmao i just realized this all sounds like it's about code formatting?? but actually when i said "add a line" and "refactor spacing" i meant literally a border in the app and the spacing of the app sections. i have not lost my mind to the point where i believe running prettier on a file constitutes refactoring omg
