@zmillmanHere's a fun project. Use GitHub's API to crawl all repos. Extract their dependencies. Train an ML model and run the model against the repos. Then use the info to open PRs like "I see you're using chai. 90% of project which use chai also use chai-as-promised."The more I learn Clojure, the more I think "why again are we writing JavaScript?" It's not like someone is shipping handcrafted JS over the wire. It's all bundlers, compilers, and minifiers. Might was well write code in whatever language we're most productive.How convenient that @recoiljs has native features for most of the sam.js.org pattern:

Our inner child likes to "play code" with unnecessary refactors and fantastical abstractions.
Play has its time and place.When creating a product, remember that it's better to be a big fish in a small pond, than a small fish in a big pond.We should more often commit APIs to memory using Anki / spaced repetition.
