I started learning the discord.py library as a means of learning Python back in 2019. For the first few years I rewrote the bot frequently to better reflect my Python ability. Because I was so new, it was easiest for me to create separate codebasses for each generation rather than extend/refactor my existing code. In addition, I was really misunderstanding the role of git, and didn't know how to commit major code changes.
Not only that, but discord.py was unmaintained for a short stint. A forked version of the wrapper was started, but had substantial differences between it and its upstream project. This meant once discord.py was officially being maintained by Danny again, I needed to refactor any app commands. This explains this latest (and "final") rewrite
