Now I am looking for a competent sports med doc in San Francisco.
Someone who has expertise with knees and who can work with my
insurance.
I participate in individual sports and martial arts and seem to have
torn my ACL and damaged my meniscus and probably more. No MRI yet. The
first doctor I saw (Dr. Chase of San Francisco General Hospital,
Urgent Care) said I was fine.
Rewrite everything from scratch?

I know. Programming is not a very rewarding endeavor, so money tends
to be a big motivator in learning it.

Creating and organizing abstractions well takes a lot of trial and error.
Do not create a set of abstractions that have not gotten real need;
make sure you really need them first. Do not be too general,
especially with cross browser DOM adapters and keep the parts
independent enough so that you can swap out one interface object with
another, but only as needed.
