I'm a huge rails fanboi but the state of Stimulus and Hotwire make me sad. The concepts are awesome, and I think the execution might even be good. But the documentation is so incredibly horrible that I have a hard time even getting started, and I can't learn enough about it to answer the question of whether or not using it in any given project will end with me painted into a corner.

I feel so validated! When I started learning web dev, I was working through The Odin Project's Rails course. All smooth sailing til I hit the Turbo/Stimulus/Hotwire sections.

I thought I was stupid or just terrible at JS/front-end stuff, because I would read and re-read the same chapter in the Stimulus docs and become more confused.

Now I'm mainly in TS-node/React land, and boy do I miss Rails.
