Today, I'm excited to share this story with the world. We call it, The Whimsical Way. whimsical.com/whimsical-way

Yeap, thinking of trying Drizzle for my next experiment. I'm still not sold on `undefined` though, property not existing and property existing with undefined value is not exactly the same things. I also managed to actually get bitten by this behavior.
