Intentionally running /compact is actually pretty nice Telling it _why_ you're compacting is critical, it'll tell it what to keep and what to chuck For instance, I'm about to /compact for the third time while QA-ing a feature I just built. The sessions: 1. Build the feature 2. Compact, then fix a wave of bugs 3. Compact, fix another wave of bugs 4. Compact again, fix more bugs
