I always thought scroll jacking was taking over the behavior of the scroll? This seems different, as it's using the position on the page to run the animation but not controlling the scrolling behavior.

Honestly just chose one at random and ended up building trust with them because they were professional and academic. I kept going back because it was interesting to me to talk about my experience and have them weigh in with what the DSM says, what academics are saying, etc.

Just went to therapy because I was depressed. I was lucky to have a really good therapist.

I was diagnosed with spd a few years ago. I shared the diagnosis with a few friends, one of whom is a therapist, and they honestly thought it was a misdiagnosis because I don't always have a flat affect, can show happiness, etc. But honestly I loved being diagnosed because I could really identify with what I read about the disorder.

What is described here is something I also struggle with - the obligation to explain my worldview to others. Sometimes there is no way around it, because the more you withdraw to avoid voicing your opinion, the more guilt you can feel for somehow being sneaky or dishonest. I also don't know if sharing the 'why' would really help. What I see as matter-of-fact can make others extremely sad. Either way, it's interesting to think about. Thanks for sharing.

I agree with you to an extent, but what has held me back in the past is that uncle bens tek seems a little sketchy (I want to watch it grow) and pf tek requires a lot of space (and oh my god what happens if it goes bad and then you just have a massive tub of rotting filth in your apartment).

I would not pay $200 for this, but if you can make it look nice and make the process idiot-proof, I think there's a market for it.

Yeah this bothered me. His stance on this seems so defensive and personal and he gives very few examples of heretical ideas. It makes this essay more of a boomer diatribe than anything else imo.

I agree - Rails does everything, and there isn't a JS solution that's similar out of the box. You have to be familiar with a ton of stuff not to get caught up in content marketing traps for solutions that look like they fit your use case but probably don't.

For prototyping things, I like the way Next.js generates a lot of boilerplate routing and api endpoints for you, and so in that way it's similar to rails scaffolding things for you. But when it comes to db migrations, an ORM, anything else, you're on your own!
