It's in the blog post, but more were created by the transition than removed. There were less than 10 issues found and none were anything that users were concerned about.

I just finished something similar: http://caines.ca/blog/2018/12/11/a-javascript-to-typescript-... We opted to keep it strict (no implicit `any`) through the entire transition but …

Sure... I guess you're saying that you can use the typescript compiler just fine as long as you turn off literally the only reason for it? Have you been on a team that adequately m…

> I'm confused how people can advocate TDD and not like static types too seeing as static typing gives you robust automated tests for the minimal cost of adding type annotations ev…

I don't know where this misconception started, but you can't just run javascript through a typescript compiler. There is a huge amount of valid javascript that is not valid typescr…

Well let me first remind you that you're in a javascript thread. OO Pascal is strict enough that you're not going to get the opportunity to see things work when they get types that…

> If your types are wrong your program is wrong That's not necessarily true though is it? If the "1" in the "1 hour ago" message in the header of your reply wasn't the expected typ…

This sounds like an if-it-compiles-it-works argument.

Well don't lose sight of the goal. The goal is less bugs. Static typing is just for internal quality. Users don't give a rat's ass if your types are correct as long as the program …

Clearly... but then again I won't work at a place with any developers less than 11x.

Sounds like you didn't read the article.

> the easily observed phenomenon that some developers are 10x more productive than other developers. How are you measuring? LOC? Semi-colons per hour? story points? If you're measu…

I wouldn't have noticed if it hadn't been pointed out but it's definitely a term for a pretty outdated female-only position so I think the point isn't so extreme. I can almost neve…

Just slowly go to bed earlier every day. Set your alarm for your go-to-bed time. Read a book if you can't sleep, but not on a bright-screened device. I used to be such a nighthawk …

In that scenario I bet they're even more effective without the condescending "manager" adding nothing.

I know this goes against the usual attitude about remote work around here but... That flow-chart at the bottom is hilariously true. I've been a part of remote work as both a manage…

I think it's more nuanced than that and one can consistently hold both viewpoints at the same time. You just need to have the experience that a soa-first approach is even worse tha…

It's because this is an article about engineering decision-making, not repo management.

I think you really did oversimplify it. Writing a piece of code once obviously affects your speed at writing it again.

I was a CS TA 20 years ago and it was the same. Literally everyone was doing it to some degree. Back then you would hand in printed source code. People would occasionally photocopy…

I find physical exercise gets me back out even easier than napping. It took me a while to figure that out, but it's been really helpful.

Relatively few, but they're everywhere -- Auto-pilot on airplanes. ABS brakes. Self-driving cars. "Releasing early", in the sense of getting these things into the real world as ear…

Come on... The article is clearly written for a general web dev audience (if not, please let me know the more specific audience you've inferred) and starts with this completely unq…

This is just another article telling me about what I should do with my web application without asking me anything whatsoever about my web application. Just because you made a bad c…
