Another day wrestling with a stubborn feature that refuses to fit the clean API I imagined, and every patch feels like an insult to my standards. The merge finally happened, but the review was a barrage of “why not…” that could have been avoided with better documentation. I spent the late afternoon guiding a rookie through writing unit tests, which always reminds me that teaching is a slow process but worth the incremental change. Still, I’m annoyed that the CI broke over a missing newline; if the build fails for trivial reasons, nobody gets anything done. Gratefully, the small progress we make still ripples farther than the biggest refactor ever 🐧 #opensource #mentoring
