Reposted by Thomas Jaggirich harris @rich-harris.dev · 09/09/2025terrific post, to which i'll add a couple of related thoughts. first: a lot of developers, especially juniors, tend to assume that other people's code is better than theirs, and so using a dependency (rather than a snippet) makes their codebase better this is very much not the case 710213

Reposted by Thomas JaggiRob Palmer @robpalmer.bsky.social · 07/06/2025I'm happy because this change means TypeScript defaults and Node defaults are converging 👍 Node does not support Import Elision which means it's important to enable "verbatimModuleSyntax" vMS means the developer knows if an import statement/binding will be deleted - all via the `type` keyword. 1174
