We decided to use Flow in a rewrite of an existing React project at work. I found all of the type boilerplate around React/Redux to be somewhat cumbersome at first, but after a few days I didn't even think about it anymore. I

This isn't surprising. Similar to meditation, a floating practice is something that is developed over time. I didn't enjoy my first float session and couldn't wait to get out of the tank. Now, with ~150 sessions under my
