I think what started me down the anti-React path was realizing that there were other frameworks out there that don't even use a virtual dom. Plus you get tired of being told that the most obvious and intuitive way to do various things in React actually goes against some best practice that they've established.

As someone who works with typescript daily, you're not wrong. It's an extremely overcomplicated glorified linter that tries and mostly succeeds in catching basic type errors. But it also provides false confidence when you concoct something that shows no errors but doesn't behave how you expect.
At least until it gets direct dom manipulation and multithreading...
Same here! I remember when Digg only supported single-level replies. Good times...
I had one of those that was grandma-owned but the transmission shit the bed within 5k miles. What a pos.
I understood what he was talking about instantly... but only because I did the same thing with the brake when I was a kid.
I had a viscous reaction, if ya know what I mean.
I got pulled over and the cop found a 1/2 gram of pot in my car (a very small amount), which ended up with me having to do community service and take regular drug tests. I was working as a line cook at the time, but being forced to stop smoking weed gave me the push to finally apply for an entry level manufacturing position at a local company who does drug tests. Years later I still work there, but as a software engineer, and attending online college. I wouldn't quite say I'm grateful about the ass backwards drug laws and invasive drug screening, but I really can't argue that my current situation is a lot better than it was back then. Without that event, I might still be working random entry level jobs.
The Navidson Record from House of Leaves, although it's questionable whether it is supposed to actually exist within the narrative.
3Blue1Brown on youtube has amazingly good visual explanations for various math concepts. Helped me out a lot when I was having trouble with calculus. It doesn't help specifically with memorizing theorems or anything, but provides a good conceptual framework to start with. https://www.youtube.com/c/3blue1brown
I've been rewatching Aqua Teen Hunger Force and Space Ghost, and they hold up (if they were ever funny for you to begin with)!
I've been working on a raspberry pi based music notes box for shows on and off for about 5 years. I can count through and change songs with my foot, so I have an easier time keeping track of where I am in the song for live shows (I'm the bassist). I did all the programming and hardware stuff.
