My brain goblin is a big fan of performance. Recently I reviewed a teammate’s code. It was a small 100ish line PR and he calls the same function twice in a row with a tiny variation. My brain goblin went “you could consolidate these into one call”, “since it’s only one call you could inline it”.
A couple hours later when he came to ask me what I’m smoking I realised my proposed solution had more LoC and was more complex to read. If we needed better performance, step 1 should’ve been to offload this task to an API that wasn’t made with python. Not to mention the next thing this API does is string manipulation and then write to file.

Yesssssss. I just got done splitting up a 3000-line mess of React code into a handful of simple, reusable components. Better than sex.
I’m a total noob but I learned how and refactored my python project I’m doing at work. It takes time but it is very rewarding to have clean code lol
