Yeah.

Yeah.

So we have, we have problems with it and we decided let's get this thing. We're like, we're close enough, even with the problems, even with our lack of understanding, we're close enough that a total rewrite right now would put us back a long way and upset the business. So let's push it across the line. And then we can circle back and figure out what to do.

I think the most experienced engineers, one of the best engineers I've worked with, his name is Justin Hart. He did the first commit on the monolith that I work on. And every time I work with him, that is always my experience. He's like, we're making this change. Here's what we expect. And we're going to do it. and then we're going to verify it, and then we're going to move on.

And I'm always like, oh, why don't we do this, this, and this? And he's like, no, no, no, just this one thing. And it's illuminating, right? It's illuminating. I think it's helped me as a developer in the projects that I'm doing now, realizing like, okay,

Yeah, I mean, I don't know. Have you all checked out the... Basecamp's email, hey.com.

Yeah, so I've been using it, and obviously I'm a Basecamp fanboy, but I think it's pretty amazing what they're able to do with just HTML over the wire for the most part and not relying on some of the frameworks that have come out recently. Also, I think it's super interesting, like the 2020 Ruby on Rails community survey. If you look, the one put out by Planet Argonne,

If you look at what JavaScript libraries people are using, so I was expecting that number one would be React. Maybe number two would be, I don't know, Vue or Ember maybe. But number one on there is jQuery. And it's like we're all in this jQuery world. And it's not bad. I love jQuery.
