mui-rff VS storybook

Part of the complexity of integrating a form library with a ux library is passing all of the correct properties around between the two. In this case, I wasn't doing that correctly and it resulted in a bug where disabled was not being set correctly. Someone filed a bug. The bug was fixed and a test was written to ensure that this doesn't happen again in the future.

You can read the history here: https://github.com/lookfirst/mui-rff/issues/455

If you're working with people who randomly 'forget' things while they are doing development, then I guarantee that you're working with people who also write buggy code.

I consider buggy code the act of developers writing the code at least 2x instead of 1x. If you or your company is paying someone $X a year to write code once and they are actually writing code more than once, then I would highly suggest you look for new people to work with because that is a terrible return on investment.

If your developers are writing tests, along with their code, then the code is far more likely to be correct and better thought out and less buggy than code that was just hand tested as they developed it. Speaking of that 2x example, I'd rather pay someone 2x the amount of time to write code, with tests, than the other way around.

Kind of yes... not all dependencies are direct for the app, a lot are just dev dependencies. Just to get eslint/prettier to warn, auto format and cleanup my code when I save a file, it is 13 direct dev dependencies in my project [0].

After ~25 years of open source and regretting a lot of my earlier behaviors as a younger human, a couple years ago I created another open source project [0].

I made a point of setting it up right from the beginning. Easy build system, fully unit tested, code of conduct, automated CLA signing, examples, good documentation and most importantly, I am excessively kind to anyone who comments or gives feedback. This took an inordinate amount of time up front, but was worth it.

I'd say the result of this is that I've gotten a couple high quality contributions, zero stress and very very little feedback. It has been a pleasure to maintain this project because it causes me no pain at all.

I'd say that maintaining 200+ projects is just insane really. You've overdone it. It is impossible to do any of them extremely well and of course you're just going to invite 200x more drama. Don't do that.

I cant seem to be getting the @storybook addon knobs working? It doesnt seem to be decorating the actual story. Pretty much followed this

I am using storybook (this) to play with my components in isolation. I want to mock all the flux cycle (that in the full app it is done with the help of redux) and update a property using a simple object in the story, but I am missing something.
