Pishkyon Ask HN: React or JQUERY. Which one should I learn in 2019?

Both. Hard to understand react without some knowledge of jQuery. Also make sure you have a really good understanding of vanilla javascript. There is no free lunch (Unfortunately)

Look at the spiritual side of things. What does it mean to be happy. Who defines success, you or your peers. How long does it last?

I can really relate your feelings about women, been there done that. Am now married with two kids and looking back at things I was totally wrong in the assumption that a drop dead gorgeous person would make you happy.

You see, happiness comes from within and is not defined by things like jobs, partners, things you own. If I could choose a religion for you it would be Buddhism, follow the steps and happiness is guaranteed.

All the best

Pishkyon Rewiring the JavaScript Console in CodePen

Josh what really bamboozles me about your code is this..the console function returns an object, yet at no time is the text being forwarded to the function ie. var console = function(text) { ... } so when you say console.log("information...") how is function getting the string??
