Thanks so much @mattpocock.com for discombobulating! Great writeup

OMG, it works! Simply changing the interface from method shorthand syntax to object property syntax makes the desired squigglies appear!

@mattpocock.com in your capacity as typescript whisperer, have you blogged about "function parameter bivariance"? I'd be curious if you have practical advice how to avoid the problem I describe in this gist gist.github.com/pesterhazy/4...

Vibecode, not too much, mostly UI

I could use a nice trip to somewhere in Europe or the UK. I'd like to sponsor my trip by doing useful work with your company. I have a lot of skill and experience in software delivery, code craft, and team management. Consider contracting me for a few days. I would love to help.

Exciting. Btw I noticed on iOS Chrome, the back button seems borked

Oftentimes a library will do a lot more than what you need, creating accidental complexity. Expert teams recognize this

Paulus Esterhazy @pesterhazy.bsky.social · 19/04/2025

True it depends. The answer may be different depending on, among other things, the team's skill level

Today should a node project use ESM (rather than commonjs) and {"type": "module"}? Just spent half a day fighting with node's module resolution and --experimental-strip-types

Zod v4 is marketed as having 20x fewer instantiations of tsc... While it's great to see progress, this news makes me hesitant to use it. Why was it doing so much in the first place? All that type-level complexity must have a cost

Logged in to Twitter, the first thing I see is this Pathetic

My new book is out: “Exploring TypeScript”. It’s free online! • About 75% of the content is new or rewritten. • Most of the new content is about computing at the type level. exploringjs.com/ts/ #TypeScript

What a wonderful finale, just as cynical as I hoped it would be

Are US tariffs going to affect digital goods like SaaS software?

Paulus Esterhazy @pesterhazy.bsky.social · 03/04/2025

I didn't get it, why would a semicolon be expected?

Paulus Esterhazy @pesterhazy.bsky.social · 30/03/2025

Haha yeah TS is hyperpragmatic. It's part of its appeal

Paulus Esterhazy @pesterhazy.bsky.social · 30/03/2025

Learning TypeScript is easy, mastering Javascript, with its years of cruft, is the harder task

For TypeScript specifically, I'll recommend this course (not a book sadly) www.executeprogram.com

Execute Program

Learn it. Code it. Remember it.

Teamwork makes the dream work… Along with good architecture, agility, frequent communication (“Yes chef!”), domain driven thinking, a ton of collective experience, knowledge sharing and a lot of passion. But 10x developers? Nah. That’s just over-reliance on one point of failure.

021

Paulus Esterhazy @pesterhazy.bsky.social · 23/03/2025

which as we all know causes cancer of the semicolon

000

Paulus Esterhazy @pesterhazy.bsky.social · 23/03/2025

Amen to that. It's surprisingly hard to make the case for keeping things separate though. "Next.js is so convenient" etc

In iTerm, Cmd-Shift-a copies the output of the last command executed. Not sure how I survived so long without knowing this

Truth bomb on HN: "During ZIRP the incentives for employees were completely disconnected from the underlying business, leading to entire careers being built around and rewarded for the wrong outcomes."

Paulus Esterhazy @pesterhazy.bsky.social · 15/03/2025

How often is this a problem in practice? Each time I ran into this I was able to change the api to avoid the issue. Granted, I'm not often writing library code

I'm, *sigh*, going to get better at llm-assisted development. But I want to treat it as a tool to learn, not a short cut. Where should I start? What are the best guides, preferably from people who understand the limitations as well as the upsides?

Paulus Esterhazy @pesterhazy.bsky.social · 05/03/2025

Yeah isn't a record exactly the opposite, a map of arbitrary kv pairs as opposed to well known fields?

Did you start with Duel? I always thought that was a pretty good movie
