The new bonus system was built at the same time I was experimenting with the hybrid submit form.

I thought I would have to migrate the relevant code from the combined submit form into the original forms, and make sure their existing code played nice with their existing code.

But then I realized. I can just hide the link input or text input on the combined form. Which means there is also only one form with active code. So whatever next thing we do I don't have to apply it to three forms and conceive of code that will play nice with all of them. I can avoid the common programming conundrum of trying to find a move that works on two chess boards.

This is why I like taking my time to do something. Given time you end up meditating a smarter way to do something that's 1/5th the work in the immediate and 1/10th the work long term. You see things that should be obvious but in a state of doing it's easy to miss.

Keeping something logged in a todo list for some time can be quite handy. Because you keep seeing it, and keep re-inviting a chance to think of a better way to do it.
