It sounds like it will take a lot more than a meeting. The two of you should go on a three day retreat to discuss the company situation and strategy deeply and to repair the connection between you two.
If you have completely different views, in a way that is really interesting and you should both strive to fully understand and learn from each other.
Who knows what lies underneath the difference in views?
Once you know that you can make a much more informed decision and if you still leave it will likely be on much better terms.

Still, commented-out code is generally worthless and should be deleted. Unless it is actively being worked on and only commented out to achieve some short-term goal. In which case it should also not be commented out but instead live on a branch.
Occasionally you might have two flows and you're not sure which is best. But in that case keep them in separate functions and one of those will not be used but can still be covered with tests. And all static analysis tools will work on it. Just needs a comment about why this unused code is there.
The mind has a natural tendency to zoom in on scary things. I guess that is our prey-animal heritage.
Certainly, for rightfully stressful situations immediate action is needed and mindfulness is not a solution, but in modern life almost all stress comes from the imagination. If you are not conscious of your own thinking fearful thoughts may suck you in indefinitely.
Mindfulness (and psychedelics) can greatly help with becoming (more) conscious of fearful thoughts and that enables you to deal with them constructively.
Clearly it depends on the type mindfulness. From the paper:
> mindfulness is typically defined as “the awareness that emerges through paying attention on purpose, in the present moment, and nonjudgmentally to the unfolding of experience moment by moment”. Core MBP elements are mindfulness meditation training, doing things mindfully such as eating or brushing one’s teeth, and collective and individual inquiry with a qualified teacher, using participatory learning processes.
Probably heightening consciousness while brushing your teeth is not the most direct way to mitigating stress.
Or am I missing something?
