Sometimes I have improvements or ideas about improvements to existing code that can be considered "mental masturbation" -- the existing code works and accomplishes exactly what it needs to do, but I cannot shake the idea that there is a better, cleaner (groan 🙄) way to do things.
I still think it's useful to capture these as sometimes it's an actual good improvement over what's there now, but I try to be skeptical of refactoring just for the sake of refactoring. Unless something is SO egregious that it's impossible to work with, it's usually better to leave it be.
Asked 🤖 for some suggestions for the label and description, since I can't use what first comes to my mind (it's lewd and not exactly useful in a professional setting 😅), and there's some OK ones in here. Need to think on it.
