Hey there. I have been using Studio Code Server to edit my YAML files forever.
My question is, my Automations.YAML file is now over 5000 lines. When I edit it in Studio Code Server, it hangs for a LONG time before it refreshes.
If I have an error in my YAML, it causes MAJOR issues to the point it crashes HomeAssistant even though I haven't clicked "Check configuration" in HA.
It just runs REALLY slow.
Is this normal?
I'm running it on 2 GHz CPU with 8GB of ram and on SSD drive.

Even without the crashing issue, it would probably be a good idea to split up that file into multiple files to make it easier to manage: https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/configuration/splitting_configuration/

Must be doing something wrong...
I changed my yaml automation from:
automation: !include automations.yaml
to this:
automation: !include_dir_list yaml_automations/
Created folder under config directory named "yaml_automations" and put my YAML files there.
Nothing showed up in HA under automations.. So for fun, I created a new automation in HA GUI and it created a new file called "automations.yaml" (My old config way)...
in the /config folder BTW.
Oh, I didn't see this..
It is important to note that each file must contain only one entry when using !include_dir_list.
So maybe that's why. I just broke them up into mutliple files. So each file had about 10 Automatons. I would I have to break each Automation into 1 file! That seems like a pain! Hmm.
