If JavaScript was a forest and you were a woodworker this could be one of your saws.

Here's the full post with a few more sentences from the author ;)

Not too shabby. I'd have made the candy cigarette "1" because it's a "cigarette" vs a cigarette, but that's just my word-leaning brain.

Otherwise, this makes JS fun, and THAT is an accomplishment!

haha, that's a such great association! You mean this other post here: https://richstone.io/javascript-equality-operators-explained-visually/

My reasoning for making it "1" for the real cigarette came from my visual-leaning brain:

"" representing the fumes around the cig 1 :))

Thank you for letting me know that you enjoyed it! This lets me think that I'm moving in the right fun-oriented direction that I actually am striving for 😊

Really? All I saw was one page with about two sentences of text. Still waiting for the tutorial to appear.

Sorry that you expected more. There's a post in the making with more visuals similar to this one: https://richstone.io/how-to-learn-ruby-timeless-resources-and-techniques/

If you swap the Ruby resources to JS ones, you'll have a good starting point for understanding JS.

This post https://richstone.io/javascript-equality-operators-explained-visually/ of yours is actually so well done! I already knew the information but your way of explaining really solidified it! And it's well-articulated. Plus I'm a visual learner. Keep posting please!

I understand JavaScript, the problem is that JavaScript doesn’t understand me.

Behhhh best way is to sit in front of the computer and feel the pain of being a js developer then feel the pain of being ts developer and finally do a burn out for code in python
