Yeah. So I think you're hitting it like one thing that's like really important, right? So one of the things I think that really kind of makes you a strong engineer of sorts, right?

Are you good at figuring out that something's not right?

Something smells funny, whatever it is. Can you go back and, you know, sweep up your mess, you know, either push it across the finish line because you're close enough or Or say, actually, this is the wrong path. We should actually back up, go to the last intersection and go down the other way.

So, I mean, it's definitely, yeah, I mean, I can speak to experiences too, where I was just like, man, I really like missed all the flags. And then I kept missing more flags and just kept going. And why are we surprised that we were in a bad place? Because I ignored everything. So I hear you, man. And kudos for recognizing it at some point and doing something about it.

I do like stimulus. I do feel like we can let React go now.

I don't have an answer. That's fair. I thought I found it pretty easy. I thought it gave me everything that I felt like I was getting from jQuery before, which is a thing happened on the page. And because that thing... I mean, Jesse... Talk about event-based architecture here. Come on, this is exactly what JavaScript is, right? And jQuery especially, right? Stimulus is exactly that.
