ah you misunderstand me.

I don't mean "do dumb stuff", I mean I've literally never seen anyone redefine the `define` keyword in any code.

With javascript, I do see people use `===` frequently. It's a wart of the language that the operator even exist. It's not "dumb" to use it - it's how frequently are you assaulted with the bugs of the language (not bugs in your code).

That’s true but I think if a major issue is having to type === instead of == then you’re probably doing okay.
