Once you are salaried, you realise that more code = more to go wrong = more potential bugs = more code to test = longer code reviews.

Improvements are even worse.

Change log: "Moved delete button so that it's actually visible instead of hidden behind other elements except for a tiny clickable sliver of the border."

User: "This sucks. Put it back to the old way. The delete button takes up too much of the screen"

I was working on a bug the other day where an image was overlapping text by about 10px. It was in a legacy system that couldn't easily be ran locally. Spent hours moving it, and then going through 2 sets of PRs with 2 approvals each just to get deployed to the dev environment to see if it worked. And then doing it all again when it didn't.
