   That feeling when the code reaches a point of huge messiness that the only way to deal with it is print out the worst bit and scribble on it.

   Low tech but very effective and satisfying.

     @edoxtator Yeah, one long continuous piece of paper would be very nice. I still get nostalgic about the sound of a dot matrix printer.

     After extensive refactoring, that chunk of code is now only 5.5 pages long instead of 11 😅

     Still about 4 pages too long compared to what an ideal function would be but this is the main ActivityPub handling code we're dealing with here, so it's always going to be a little crazy.
