reminding myself to calm the fuck down and just get this damn huge-ass feature implemented in this messy as fuck code base which is triggering me so badly.

Have you tried working in your own file/dir structure and just reaching out to glue ;P

Partial joke since it will probably just make it more messy but also gives you some sanity as well. We've moved the old "legacy" code it it's own "lib" folder and any new dev goes into the new structure

Use a journal. It works for me.

Be very methodic. I do something like

Issue: that is not working

Hypothesis: maybe it's this shit there

Question: where is that happening in the codebase again?

How to test: blablabla

You got the idea

@BordedDev Yeah I mostly add my own components to keep the already messy ones from becoming even more monstrous lmao.

I just don't understand how people can work so messy.

@antigermgerm Nice. I found a directory where they've got the most bizarre images in it, not used in the app and there are also some Excel file templates stored in there, so I left a comment asking why there are Excel files in the img directory. Doesn't make sense.

sometimes feature big and you don't know cross-over places
