Maybe I’m being pedantic but bodybuilders don’t generally “lift insane weights” or do bursts of maximal effort. That sounds more like powerlifting. Bodybuilders prioritize gaining muscle size, which is not equivalent to gaining muscular strength.
Not sure if this counts as “going back” but I have been managing a legacy project that is built like this for the past year or two. I hated it at first, but now I’m starting to appreciate it. My approach is to try to put as much as possible in php, but for parts of the page that are going to be manipulated by js/jquery, just have php pass the data as json and build that portion of the dom on the front end.
Actually not true. All addicts develop lifestyles around their addictions. Alcoholics often have many social connections that involve alcohol, what they do for fun involves alcohol, etc. A successful recovery typically involves changing this lifestyle to make the problem behaviors easier to avoid.
