🪷 The Zen of Forgetting 🪷

today is one of those where you solve long-standing intellectually challenging problems, with intricate requirements and nested dependent stages with a matrices of ways in which everything could go immediately back to being broken, but everything was smooth..

and afterwards you can't quite remember how the entire thing was resolved, because it's been going on for so long with full cognitive flow, those perfect meditative hours in the terminal..

and the internal voice says, "hmm, well, revision control will know the before and after, so the middle part isn't important." 🤷

and then you move on 😌
