🥊 React vs Backbone in 2025
｢ The Backbone code is brutally honest about what it's doing. An event fires, a handler runs, you build some HTML, you put it in the DOM. It's verbose, sure, but there's no mystery. A junior developer can trace exactly what happens and when. The mental model is straightforward: "when this happens, do this."

#Introduction
Hi everyone! I’m Carlos Tomas Grahm, an independent mathematician who previously worked on NSF-funded modeling and continuum mechanics research under a Hopkins-affiliated PI.
My current focus is the intersection of mathematical logic, complexity theory, and applied modeling — how rigorous math can clarify or even accelerate discoveries in other sciences. I enjoy discussing ideas that connect theory to real-world systems and would love to meet others exploring similar links.
Looking forward to learning, sharing, and helping translate tricky math into useful models!

｢ Everything’s optimised for developers – and hostile to everyone else.
This isn’t accidental. It’s cultural. We’ve created an industry where complexity is celebrated. Where cleverness is rewarded. Where engineering sophistication is valued more than clarity, usability, or commercial effectiveness.
It’s easier to win an argument by citing SSR compatibility issues than it is to ask, “Why are we using React for a blog?” ｣

It takes 10 hours on a laptop accurately simulating 5 seconds of a worm wiggling: https://archive.is/0j2Jp (and we still cannot simulate more than 20-30 #quantum particles exactly). Please be humble when the universe is present! #modeling #complexity (through @loriemerson )
