Debouncing vs Throttling, With Actual Numbers
Both slow down a function that fires too often. They do it in opposite ways, and mixing them up shows up as real, user-visible bugs.
a sutra is a thread — a teaching short enough to remember, dense enough to unpack
SyntaxSutra explains one idea at a time — closures, algorithms, git, the tools you reach for daily — as a short thread you can actually hold onto, not a wall of documentation.

Rebase is not magic and it is not dangerous once you stop picturing it as time travel and start picturing it as re-shelving books.
You do not need a CS degree to reason about algorithmic complexity. You need five shapes and the willingness to count loops.
A closure is a function carrying a small backpack of variables it needs later. Here is the mental model that finally makes it click.
