Can I get an amen? Also applies to duplication. I don't care if you have 10 files with similar boilerplate code, if it's the convention and expected, **do not** make an abstraction. Others will know where to look for flaws.

And take breaks. Nothing stops you from submitting the review half-way through and write "taking a break, not finished".

My super power? Honey I'm having a full blown panic attack in front of you and you think I'm just focused on what I'm reading. Internally I'm screaming.
