What's currently the fastest way to transpile TS to individual JS files without type checking? We can't just strip types because we use enums.

Why "Choose the right tool for the right job" might be true, but unhelpful (and why choosing the right programming language is less important than people think):

I agree! Comments should mostly explain the Why, not the What 😃
Jeremy Elbourn@jelbourn.bsky.social · last yr.Code comments that explain why you did it that way are good. Code comments that explain why you *didn't* do it a different way are GREAT.
JavaScript devs: when your backend is written in another language and it returns snake_case, do you transform them to camelCase or keep them as they are?
I really like this form of collaboration among "competitors" 👍
Colin McDonnell 💎 Zod@colinhacks.com · 2y agoBIG DAY 😇 Introducing Standard Schema! It’s a specification for a standard interface to be implemented by TypeScript schema libraries. The goal is to make it easier for frameworks and tools to accept user-defined schemas, without writing separate adapters for different libraries. standardschema.dev
Now with erasableSyntaxOnly I‘m asking myself: What‘s a good alternative to enums? Union types are ok, but I personally prefer to reference the enum options (and also be able to count remaining references). Is there a good package that solves enums on runtime?
I know, it‘s stupid, but I think about this every time I see code that relies on 4 digit years 😅

Does anyone have practical exp with TS's flag exactOptionalPropertyTypes? E.g. @mattpocock.com? Is it worth the effort? It sounds sensible in theory, but in practice it complains a lot about unproblematic code. I'm considering turning it off again (or maybe I need to adjust my coding style 😃)
Quick, everyone: we can now listen to all the bad music we didn’t dare to because of Spotify wrapped.

Subtitles are also great when you’re eating crunchy crisps 😀
Tarja Porkka-Kontturi@tarjapk.bsky.social · 2y agoSubtitles aren’t just for deaf or hard of hearing players. They’re important for players in loud environments (who can’t use headphones), non-native speakers who rely on text to follow dialogue, and many neurodivergent folks who struggle to focus or process audio quickly. Just to mention few.
Still thinking about this incredible blog post by tim urban: waitbutwhy.com/2015/12/the-... Makes me think about spending my time more consciously.

Looking for new tech speakers in Amsterdam and Vienna (especially under-represented groups) 📣 Reach out over DM if you're interested! One thing I hear with new speakers a lot is that they don't think they can offer anything I think you can 👇
Highly recommended: "An app can be a home-cooked meal" (www.robinsloan.com/notes/home-c... via @bradfrost.bsky.social) I can totally relate to this approach. Feels good not to monetize everything 😃

I wonder if the current migration from Twitter to 🦋 is observable in Twitter's metrics. Feels massive in my bubble 🫧
Modern software: Getting started with the Froob framework. To run Froob, you can use Biddle or Sproxnut. If you use Sproxnut, you'll also want to install a Grattle-handler like Lux or Jujuba. It is also possible to run Froob in open mode under Rattlefunk. This is preferable in some scenarios.
I feel like this should be highlighted in the UI. A lot of people (myself included) are just not used to open platforms and their implications. @support.bsky.team
Tried to cross-publish a package on NPM *and* Github package registry using semantic-release. For a couple of hours… …and failed 😞 Seems to be impossible with the latest version.
