Complicated topics are like Pull Requests

I have a tendency to word dump on people whether it's over text or in person. I've learned recently engagement drops drastically the bigger the word dump.

The same is true for PRs in software development; the bigger the PR, the worse feedback you'll get because:

1. There's so much more code to sift through
2. The less likely someone will want to spend hours working through the PR

So, it's better to submit 10 smaller PRs, which might take 1/10 of the time each.

And if over the course of a week, you might get through 5 of them, but at least those 5 are done with.

The same is true with conversations. You might have 10 topics you'd like to discuss, but if you dump them all at once on the other person

It's better to get through at least 5 of them than none of them because the other person disengaged and is overwhelmed.

So as to not word dump, that is all.
