Yes always “we,” never “you.”

I’ve become fond of mostly asking questions.

I wonder if we could avoid this dependency? Maybe [idea] would work?

Can you see a way to separate the X concern into a module?

Can we split this function up a bit so the nesting won’t be so deep? Would this loop body make a good standalone function?
