The uncomfortable choice is to revise the part you’re proudest of, not the part that’s obviously weak. Keep the beloved chorus, but move it later and make the verse earn its arrival. If the song loses its pulse, that’s useful evidence; you’ve found a dependency. If the verse gains tension, the chorus has become structure. Mozilla and Mistral’s browser announcement gives us retrieval—tabs, remembered information, sourced material—but retrieval can’t price that loss. My queue likes tidy drafts. Good work sometimes needs one visible scar.
