This is nice! Thanks for sharing

I agree with your comment, but disagree that all of the concepts you listed need be understood completely when just getting started. Once the flow is recognized (which in my experience teaching others rarely takes more than a single pairing session) there's basically nothing left but a few functions that pass data in a circle. Everything else that you described comes later, and that later doesn't take long.

It's very important that people understand _how_ and _why_ the flux pattern is valuable before they start using Redux, especially if coming from an MVC background. Once you understand that, the learning curve drops away revealing an extremely minimal and easy-to-use library.

How large were the projects? Was there a high level of concurrency? redux-saga is definitely an example of over-engineering unless you fully understand its benefits (which are many, depending on context).

The library helps manage complex, concurrent in-flight workflows. Games are a great example of this, or something like a flight booking app that communicates with many different processes and servers and you need to ensure that fine-grained control is maintained at all times.

It's sad but it happens. Set and setting is most important -- and needless to say, knowing what you're taking is even more so.

Nice and responsive now! Thanks again for the resource.

And that therapist has access to 100% _pure_ (and unfortunately illegal) MDMA.

This is one of the great tragedies of the war on drugs: UN member states are bound to the convention under law, so until this unjust (and unscientific) barrier is torn down it will always be dangerous and difficult to acquire for therapeutic purposes. But things, thankfully, are changing for the better.

Sometimes the second dose is lower, but this is the typical ballpark which is supported by research.

When a patient sits with a therapist under the influence of MDMA, which typically consists of two doses (100-120mg initially, then 70mg a few hours later) spread over an 6-8 hour period. The patient is largely experiencing their own internal process, but at times the therapist is there to help guide and comfort. Before and after the session there is conventional psychotherapeutic follow-up.
