That's what made me so confused about the framing of the article, because it seemed like it was going to go the other way. > Things you forgot because of React Ah, this is going to be a back-to-basics, here's how great vanilla JS, HTML and CSS can be. > I used to only listen to new music, updating my tastes with each week, and was never really satisfied. Then I discovered that there were certain genres that didn't update each week, and were timeless and satisfying. Ok, this is definitely a back-to-basics, don't jump on the flavor-of-the-week > React is old news now, here are a dozen new flavors of the week. Wait, what..?

I was laughing at the line that hooks are as old as his kid (as if this made them ancient) followed immediately by the comment that his kid is going into pre-k. His kid is... drumroll... 4 years old.

  That's a really curious perception of time. I consider everything as old as my kids spanking new. My oldest is 16. I wonder what causes this (except me being old, but still, I thought this even when my oldest 4 as well).

    People should kick off a bunch of things on when their child is born to remember timescales are relative. Buy a green banana. Buy a certificate of deposit. Plant tomatoes. Cellar a bottle of wine. Plant a redwood tree.

      I made a wine kit for each of my children - it makes 30 bottles and we drink one a year on the birthday itself. I've found it helps for scale and as a bonus you get to see how a wine really ages over time.

        You probably know that not all bottled wines age well, in fact only a handful do. Usually high sugar content is important, because the sugar preserves the aromas and keeps them from evaporating. Alcohol content, acidity and tanins also play a role. Most bottled wines are meant to be drank right after bottling or in up to 5 years, white wines less than that. They get more brown or orange as they oxydize. Prosecco and sparkling wines are usually better if they're from the previous year.

        Perhaps you could argue that high initial sugar matters but final sugar content definitely does not. I only like my wines dry with no residual sugar remaining after fermentation is complete. A decade on my big reds are tasting fantastic. I've had exactly one bottle of white go bad on me and it was somewhere in that 8-10 year range. It can definitely happen and would not recommend a white for this kind of thing . . . but this is also how you learn. For someone not wanting to go the "make it yourself" route, I'm sure if you went to a good wine distributor and said you were looking to buy two or three cases of something you want to cellar for a good long while they would be happy to steer you in the right direction.

    Having a kid is a major milestone so time perception might be tied to that moment

Exactly, I feel cheated and I'd like my time back.
