Yes! I will take this as a chance to thank every people who shared their knowledge on the Internet. You guys are so freaking awesome! You are always appreciated.
A big chunk of my whole life's learning came from all the forums that I used to scour through, hours after hour! Because these awesome people always sharing their knowledge, and someone adding more. That's what made Internet, Internet. And all is now almost brink of loss, because of greedy corporates.
This habit also helped me with doom-scrolling. I sometimes, do doomscroll, but I can catch it quickly and snap out of it. Because, my whole life, I always jumped in to the rabbit holes, and actually read those big blog posts, where you had those `A-ha` moments, "Oohh, I can use that", "Ahh, that's clever!".
When, browsing, do not give me that, by brain actually triggers, "What are you doing?"
Later, I got lazy, which I am still paying for. But I am going to get out of it.
Never stop jumping into those rabbit holes!! Well, obviously, not always it's a good rabbit hole, but you'll probably come out wiser.
That seems to be especially true on HN. Other forums there is some of that as well, but HN it seems nearly every single comment section is like 75% (random number) pointing out faults in the posted article.
True true, one of my favorite things is watching the shorts on home improvement or 'hacks' and sure enough there is always multiple comments saying why it won't work and why its not the right way. Just as entertaining as the video.
also possible (even though I've seen the author's response to not knowing) is that the scripts were written before native was included. at that point, the muscle memory is just there. I know I have a few scripts like that myself
