Well I also do not really know the legitimate use case for infinite scroll (other than trying to push gambling/slot-machine tricks onto your userbase).

I get lazy-loading for pages that contain a ton of media of which the user will likely only see a fraction. But some people seem to think infinite scroll is a good idea with text based content as well..

I'm specifically cranky about MS Azure Devops and how much lazy-loading and unloading of text it does. It's basically impossible to ctrl-F.
Also Github. Doing a review or searching logs is pain.
Which is why you use git command line for such tasks
Where you can put comments on problematic lines/blocks of code easily with the git command... (Please continue, I'm really curious of there are better ways than what I'm currently doing)
Use VS Code and download the git plugin. Tasks like that become super easy
Yes! I suffer through this daily. It's atrocious.
