This year, the number of pull requests I've reviewed is down by about 30% from last year.
It's that quiet erosion of the cognitive skills I need to understand and navigate through complex codebases. I'm not sure what's causing it. Is it because we've gone more monolithic with our systems, or is this just a natural part of my career maturing?
