Could we consider ~?~을 고려해볼 수 있을까요?Could we consider splitting this logic into smaller functions?
One concern is that ~한 가지 우려는 ~입니다One concern is that this query may be slow on large datasets.
To make it clearer, we could ~더 명확하게 하려면 ~할 수 있어요To make it clearer, we could rename this variable to userProfileMap.
Does this approach work for you?이 접근 괜찮나요?I suggest adding input validation first—does this approach work for you?
