@gloriouscow pffft
both a reaction to your joke and an impression of the sound it makes
This was many years ago but i once worked with this front end dev, guy named Jake. He was a kind of an odd fellow. Real lanky dude, didn't talk much. And normally he wasn't the greatest programmer, a bit sloppy.

But when we got into crunch mode and the hours grew longer and longer, it's like the pressure and stress unlocked his potential. Once, in the last 48 hours before a big deadline, I walked in on him surrounded by about a dozen empty cans of Monster, just furiously typing away, muttering to himself. I was about to say something when my boss shot me a stern look and shook his head.
So I stood there. We all just stood there, watching.

My boss just looked at me like it was obvious. "Our front end code depends on Jake weary."

@foone It took me a moment to figure out that "Hydration error" is an actual thing in react and not just a way of saying it made you spill your drink.

okay it's working.
react is a tiring framework.
everytime I need to make a tiny change, I end up getting mad for an hour and then I'm tired of programming for the day. -
