Work in a large codebase? Hate how hard it is to get anything done? See a new tool—a type checker, a framework, a test runner—and think “maybe this will fix it”?

It won’t.

The only fix is to put in the work. Investing the time needed to detangle complex things into simple ones.

Nobody learns how to write good software without writing lots lots of bad software first. Don’t let fear that your code will suck paralyze you.
