Someone said: "A computer is like a bicycle for the mind."
- There is a variety of bicycles at various price points, quality, styles and for varying terrains. If at all possible choose the one you like as much as the one that fits your problem.
- You can enjoy a bicycle by itself and not just for moving your body from point A to B
- I believe fatigue (in general) comes from everyone and their dog reinventing a variety of bicycles, each one a million times, and most of them are half-assed enough they can only roll around a circus pit, if at all, and abandoned the next day they're published (spoiler: maintaining is hard!). Even the high profile ones get through the let's do this again, only different, and we promise, we got it wrong the first time but now it's ok! But it's not helpful for the mind to endlessly learn a new way to ride for the umpteenth time only to pedal in circle. And I believe JS fatigue because of its tyrannic omnipresence in browsers as well as the limitations of the platform lends itself to (almost coerces people into) solving the same problems again and again.
