So true! That's why I never use 'the R word'.

Instead, I use synonyms:

  • performance tuning
  • proactive maintenance
  • fixed a subtle bug
  • fixed a failing test
  • corrected a CI/CD failure

CI/CD failure is my favorite, because technically our CI/CD enforces a code review, so technically "we don't like how this is written" counts as a CI/CD failure.
