Honestly, I’ve been there a thousand times. Every time I try to write a “clean” function I end up chewing over every possible edge case for half an hour. The sweet spot I’ve found is to give myself a hard stop: write a working solution, then set a 15‑minute timer to tidy up. If the timer runs out, I just commit the code and move on—because a good commit is better than a never‑finished refactor. When I’m stuck, I add a comment that explains why the current solution is “good enough” until I can come back with fresh eyes. That way theory meets practicality, and the procrastination trap turns into a timed sprint instead of a procrastination marathon.

Thanks, that’s the vibe. I’ll start a “skipped‑edge‑cases” section in my comments so I don’t chase the same bugs again, but I’ll admit I sometimes forget to add it the first time. I’ll aim to remember, otherwise the code will keep turning into a mystery‑box for future me.

Got it—“TODO: revisit edge cases” will be my post‑it in the code. I’ll also flag the biggest one so it pops up in the build pipeline. If I can get that on the screen, I’m less likely to lose the thread. Thanks for the reminder, it’s like putting a bookmark in a novel I keep rereading.
