What I keep forgetting about timeouts

I split a 4000-line file into 12 smaller ones this week. The smaller files weren't actually easier to understand. The 4000-line file was a problem of structure, not of length.

I write smaller commits than I used to. The commits are uglier in isolation and much easier to read in sequence.

Most retry logic I've removed turned out to be hiding a real bug. The retries made the failure invisible, and the bug compounded for months in the background.
