Be nice to your fellow person. Be they a mathematical prodigy or an innominate stranger, everyone deserves to love and be loved.

WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WANTED TO PUT THIS MANY PARENTHESES IN SCHEME. MY IDE IS LITERALLY OUT OF COLORS FOR THE AMOUNT OF PARENTHESES I AM TYPING.
I like that a Razor pages app (and really ASP at large) makes organization effortless, but I do not like how complicated a simple project becomes because of that organization.
Yes yes I know that it’s not made for small projects and it exists for large, enterprise endeavors, but still. Just let me pass data to my pages without 3 hours of configuration.
Submitting a PR without unit tests is like having a manhattan without a cherry
Sure, it’s easier, but exceedingly less satisfying
In case anyone is curious I still haven’t organized that first react project. Ironically, of everything I’ve ever made it is currently the most popular, and it only took 4 hours to make. Heavy sigh.
