Exercising and specifically lifting weights will do so much more for your back pain than any ergonomic setup ever will

Claude made these for me. We also set it up so the "mastered" state of cards is stored in localstorage.

There are also tool lending libraries in some areas. I love mine <3

I think a big advantage of a framework is that the team(s) don't end up arguing over architecture as much because the framework made those decisions for us. Also the framework has a proven history of this architecture working well for xyz problems. Also it makes finding compatible talent much easier. If you're using a framework, finding someone who has worked with that same framework for years makes it a safer bet that they will start being useful quickly. If you have your own bespoke system, it could be years until a new hire feels comfortable with the existing system's quirks and nuances and stops breaking things as much.

I don't think you understand what this tool actually is. It's not just a database.

well it's either going to be Java or Clojure with this framework so those examples would be kind of pointless.

This is what has me excited about Rama. I was very into the idea of event sourcing until I realized how painful it would be to make all the tooling needed.

More complicated in what ways specifically? I think the relevant thing is wether building an app with Rama is more or less complicated. Rama may be more complicated than mysql in implementation, but that doesn't affect me as a developer if it makes my job easier overall.

This is completely different from no-sql. Much more than just a different database..

I've been finding a lot of things to do on Bloom. But it's kind of catered to specific audiences/areas it seems.

Like I have a bachelors degree in engineering. Is that intermediate or advanced? I feel like saying my science knowledge is anything beyond intermediate is a bit of an overstatement personally.

What does "intermediate knowledge" mean in this context?

Calculus makes a lot more sense to me as code so this seems promising :D

You're talking like it's still 2010. Modern incarnations of both of those languages are pretty great.

JS core (that's worth knowing) is pretty simple. My mental model is basically there are primitive types, arrays [], objects {}, and Promises. After that, you basically just have to understand the event loop and you're good to go. Then there's other special things like async/await, spread operator, etc. Among programming languages, it doesn't have THAT many things to learn at its core.
