Day 90: Refactoring and deadline

Hi!
Day 90 huh! 3 fully months down! how cool is that? let's get to it...
So you should not be refactoring when you have a tight deadline ahead of you they say and that I think is true because I experienced it. let me tell you a story. yesterday I was surfing through the code base and I noticed how ugly and messy everything well said I should do some code refactoring getting everything where it should be you know the excitement that comes with a new flesh start, so I went ahead and raised a PR but there is much effort that goes into refactoring even a single block of good to make sure everything still works as expected and as clean as possible. 4 hours I wished I could just get everything the way it was before, at least it worked, Generally the Refactoring itself is not the issues since I already knew even if it's so satisfying it would take a lot of time the issues is the Deadlines. What I realized is that when you have a deadline to meet the main focus should be how much cleaner the codebase is as long as everything works as expected you can focus to the delivery and plan a proper code refactoring as a separate task. So I ended up dropping the PR for now at least and get back to adding more garbage hahhahah :)

I don't have any plan for Tomorrow I think I will go wherever the weekend takes me. we will see updates about that
Anyway Day 90 babyyy... getting there slowly by slowly....

Signing off......
