I'm hesitant to click approve on a PR that feels highly complex


I'm hesitant to click approve on a PR that feels highly complex.

Here's 2 reasons why:

1. If it feels highly complex, a simpler approach may exist. Solution: First, I make sure I understand the goal. Then I ask myself, "Could we accomplish the goal in a simpler way?"

2. Often a PR feels complex because it's big and unfocused. Solution: Split the PR. Ask "Can we do this in phases?"
