On partials

I am constantly going in and making changes.

My process is:

open up the page (e.g. contacts#show)

use vim’s ”/” key to find what I want to edit

edit it

When there are lots of partials this becomes

open up the page (e.g. contacts#show)

use vim’s ”/” key to find what I want to edit

realize that it is not on the page

think “where is it?”

search the page for partials

guess which partial what I want is in

if I am wrong, guess another partial

find the partial

use vim’s ”/” key to find what I want to edit

edit it

If a partial is only being used once, how is it adding value given the time increase?
