We ARE hired to write code, but it's our job to know how to write less of it.
Sometimes I go into the weeds and create a monstrocity bowl of spaghetti around a feature. Then I pull back, simplify it, and get amazed at how I missed that.
The trick is to STOP and think. Not everything is a "needful".
this letter/piece of code is long and convoluted because i could not spend much time on it. had i had more time it would be short and concise.
