I know it really doesn't count for much but I suffer from hyper-mobility and have ADHD as well. So hey we have an n of one so far.

This is the exception to the rule that when a headline is phrased as a question the answer is always no.

I view Ramda as a redflag in most any code base I see it in. Anecdotally, every large codebase I have worked with that heavily used Ramda is generally held together by one very smart engineer. Once that engineer leaves the company, the code base falls apart because no one else can understand it very well and it takes ages to fix bugs or ship new features. So these days I champion against Ramda simply because I think it just takes to much effort for a typical engineer to understand and it is usually at odds with the rest of the companies code.

I wouldn't say its inferior by any means. I think the biggest difference is accessibility. When one uses weights, progression is very simple, just increase the weight. With body weight exercises one must switch exercises to increase / change the leverage and make the exercise harder to continue progression. A good example of this is going from a regular push up, to a diamond pushup, then moving toward pseudo planche pushups. The move from regular to diamond is not too bad as you only need to move your hands closer together, but to make progress towards PPPU, you have to learn how to do a planche lean forward a tiny bit more each time you attempt PPPU's eventually moving your hands from under your shoulders to practically under your hips for generating the push motion. So I guess the main point is body weight exercises require more study and coaching generally to see progression than exercises with weights and the progression you do see is less noticeable than simply adding more weight each time you workout, but they are both very good at gaining strength.

I just wish they had not acquired Screen Hero. That was a beautiful standalone product that I wish I could still use.

The lobsters they were given were pretty old by the time they got to the consumer so they were more than likely rotten.

Overcoming Gravity

For most of my life never really had an interest in working out but learning more about calisthenics and body weight fitness in general has really changed things for me in a positive way, and this book really shows how to progress without access to weights or a gym.
