What I've done with all the extra time gained from learning the Ian Knot

It’s been two crazy years since I finally decided to sit down and learn the Ian Knot , and it’s safe to say that time really flies when you live in the fast lane.

Whether or not something works without JavaScript (JS) is something that pops up in Hacker News comments from time to time - mostly when they don’t .
