🔗 When a pull request balloons, extract

A Pull Request should never exceed 3,000 lines. Mike Zornek highlights his challenges with a feature for arbitrary refunds on an order. After successfully merging the first two phases of his implementation, Zornek faced overwhelming complexity with the UI in phase three, causing his Pull Request to balloon. Rather than merging a massive PR that risks getting missed during review, he extracted smaller components into manageable PRs. He pulled out unrelated bug fixes and additional test coverage to simplify the review process. This approach allows for clearer feedback and greater confidence when deploying code, especially for features that are critical for handling financial transactions. Extracting improvements from a large PR can be time-consuming but ultimately pays off in quality and maintainability.
