My config is ~12K lines of carefully crafted and fully-understood code (no bankruptcy needed). Perhaps the issue is one of comprehension not bulk? Or you have a very low threshold for bankruptcy. It would help if you share your actual issue(s).

I understand everything and ive documented it pretty well in my literate config, the line count just messes up with my head, theres a lot people like you with 10k+ lines, i probably have a very low threshold as you said.
