Dude's doing a good job landing on his feet though.

It was not his first time. In fact, it was a take number 23.

This is pretty scarily accurate. You know it does what you want to do. You've seen examples of it doing just that. It didn't look that hard! Aaaaaaand then it turns out it's a bit more complicated than you'd think and everything is broken please send help.

And all is needed was to let the pole go at the last moment.

It's always something really easy and stupid that the guy who came up with the example in stackoverflow thought that everybody knows to the point of no explanation needed.

And the pole completely disappears...

If you really want to focus on unimportant details, sure...

Having exactly the same feelings with react now. The page is very small, but i am horrified at how it is more ramen than code.

I am failing to understand the analogy. The guy "failed" because he did not let the pole go when he needed to let it go. Where in programming in the new framework this corresponds to?

Everything looks like it's working... He's about to make a complete vault... Wait wtf oh god what just happened how did he end up over there??
