If your high end user estimate is in the thousands, scaling is less of an issue. If users haven't mentioned frustration with latency, it's probably not a problem.

That said, you still have to feed your creativity and curiousity. I try to carve out time for "not totally necessary but skill growth and potentially impactful" time.

I happened to be sitting in front of a JavaScript book as you wrote that.

I finally opened it. I was always curious if I should learn js/node to replace PHP and maybe even get away from server side rendering in php. Right or wrong, from what I've read I think I can put that to rest for now. I see just as many issues with doing things in JS as PHP. Just spending a few hours of reading let my brain move on from that curiosity for now.

Good tip you gave. Thanks
