Modern JS (actually TS) tooling has adopted a middle ground. There is an instant feedback - un-type-checked version that runs (typically used in dev mode) with instant-feedback/hot-reload, and a slower compile and build flow that buil

interesting that the digital version is LR flipped (is there a phrase for that?). wondering if there is a reason for that to happen.

Not sure I understand the rationale behind this comment in the context of OP. How would you classify RapidPages on your measure: smart or dumb?

That's a good point. In a general sense, I agree with you. I made the comment in the context of: If you need a program like this between 16-24 AND you are doing drugs, it's much more likely than not that disadvantages have been he

As a first generation immigrant to the US, the parent story struck a deep (dis) chord. Your comment brought back memories of growing up in India. The idea of a "Panchayat" was taught in schools as both an ancient form of local&#x2

Interesting. I wonder what the long term effects of this are. Won't the results of classic intrinsic vs extrinsic motivation studies apply? I'd imagine if reading (and learning in general) is extrinsically driven, one might move t

I'm a holdout on this tech for privacy reasons. Wonder how self-incriminating that is - at some tipping point of adoption, not opting in becomes THE negative signal. Outside regulation to limit retention and prevent misuse of data is t

I watched the video on the site - a first grader winning a top prize and $1000? Speaking as a parent, money seems like a wrong metric for gamification of reading - especially at that age and those amounts. Perhaps you have insights to justi

On the flip side, isn't it also likely that repeating the same stressful behavior pattern over years (decades?) results in this outcome? However, parsing signal from noise does seem a very difficult proposition.

Have you found good examples of this in other languages/frameworks? I'd be very interested in links/references.

Very cool - the demo was simple, functional and clear. It was a bit laggy, but for a free demo from an open source project, I should be the one being shamed! Well done.

I do think that marshaling the self-motivation required to move fast and solve problems is a trait that not many people have. It requires a single-minded focus and probably raises the adrenaline levels for all involved. Unfortunately, man

Personally, I agree with your view-point. However, the law you are proposing would prohibit a parent from posting an image of their child winning the spelling bee, in a full suit. I have no idea how to thread this needle, outside making my
