    I've just tested their lgtm.com on our codebase: 1) identified str.replace('[ABC]+', '') correctly as a bug (looks like a regex but is string literal) 2) identified various unneces…

    Seconding TypeScript. If you are a js dev looking to pick up something new, just rename a .js file to .ts, open it in vscode, watch the magic. It will, I think, make you a better j…

    Take a look at Kotlin. We are building our enterprise products with it. You get all the benefits of Java (stability, maturity) without the bad parts (boilerplate, boredom). We just…

    I built https://flowcrypt.com solo for the first two years. I would have preferred a partner, but nobody committed. Today 3+ years later it's a three person team. Maybe in another …

    FlowCrypt dev here. You're free to get the source code from https://github.com/FlowCrypt and load the extension that way. If you plan to also edit the code, just cross-check to sta…
