I have a few difficulties working on ordinary web CRUD apps:

1. I'm really bad at memorizing things, I'm better at memorizing principles. Which makes most APIs like Rails and Django difficult for me. This is probably why I ended up writing my own SSG where everything is just a Node.js import, even HTML is (via JSX, via my own lightweight runtime).

2. I'm really bad at accepting doing things the wrong way when the right way is so much better and obviously so. For example, I struggle to force myself to use EJS or any traditional express-compatible templating engine. This is also why I wrote my own on-top-of-node runtime with JSX support.
