What's The Point

Content Tiger Abrodi 2nd 1 help you master TypeScript 4d Follow TypeScript is NOT a programming language. It's a superset of JavaScript. This can be a surprise if you come from a language like Java. Because TypeScript uses structural typing rather than nominal typing. I dive into all of it in my latest newsletter post. Read here: https:Inkd.inenUuz5gv 8 185 31 comments 5 reposts

The eternal JavaScript ecosystem cycle in three acts: Act 1: "Oh no, I need to convert my perfectly functional JavaScript to TypeScript because the internet says so." *head explodes* Act 2: "Finally finished the TypeScript migration. My code is now bulletproof and I am a superior being." *smug satisfaction* Act 3: "Wait, the internet now says TypeScript is terrible and everyone's going back to JavaScript?" *head re-explodes* The only constant in web development is that whatever you just spent months implementing will be declared obsolete approximately 17 minutes after you finish.

First frame: Seeing a ternary operator with an empty string fallback. Second frame: Realizing they wrapped it in a try-catch block that does exactly the same thing if it fails. That face when you discover someone wrote defensive code against their defensive code. It's like wearing a life jacket while sitting inside a lifeboat... that's inside another lifeboat. The redundancy is so beautifully pointless it's almost art.

The eternal dilemma of function design perfectly illustrated on an IQ bell curve. The low-IQ crowd (0.1%) and high-IQ geniuses (0.1%) agree: "Just add a new function." Meanwhile, the average devs (34%) in the middle are sweating bullets, desperately clinging to their sacred principle of code reuse: "NO WE SHOULD ADD ANOTHER PARAMETER AND REUSE CODE!" It's the horseshoe theory of programming - both extremes of the intelligence spectrum somehow reach the same conclusion while the "well-actually" crowd in the middle is busy creating those monstrous functions with 17 optional parameters, 9 of which are booleans. And they wonder why nobody wants to maintain their code...
