also, i don't "come back" - i'd rather not sink any more years into building something volatile while i built something non-volatile already. my energy is better spent elsewhere. last time i checked this community is incredibly unwelcoming to contributors and vibes on academic masturbation.
a prime example is Sir Tom's code - his username formatter takes 0.1ms. is the method pretty? kinda. but 0.1ms per format dude, what the fuck. it's so bad we use this in our game engine as measurements: 1 STC (Sir Tom cycle) equals 0.1ms
