I get distracted by auto complete and they usually stay in front of the code, so I can't read it. I find it annoying when I'm pairing with someone that uses it and the auto complete/type hint/whatever pops up and covers most of the code I was trying to read

Working in a code base every day I end up creating a mental map of the code and the data, so it's not hard to find stuff I'm looking for. When that doesn't work, a global search or find/grep helps.


I don't get the "type checking is the solution for the problems of the world". A lot of good things were/are written without type checking. Most of the problems I see in production have nothing to do with the wrong type being used or some forgotten required parameter. Also, typescript is just javascript with a mustache. It's the same thing

I think this depends on how you use the type system in your code. If you're just passing around strings and numbers, then sure. But if you're making explicit types for all the entities your program processes, and if you're structuring them in a way that means you don't have a bunch of undefined fields in the normal case (e.g. by using tagged unions a lot), then Typescript is absolutely, objectively, transformative compared to Javascript.


yes, but they could have been made robust quicker with types. You still have types in untyped code, they're just in your head and the runtime doesn't know about them. That means you have to be extra thorough to do the type checking manually yourself, and having to write even more tests to validate your types and all those implicit assumptions


Hello, I'm currently in the US with an H-1B and the company is sponsoring my greencard (the PERM application was recently filed). If I need to leave the US for one year, do I need to do anything? The PERM process should be done by then. One option would be terminate my employment and continue as a contractor. Can/should I do that? Thank you!


The northernmost part of Brazil is closer to Canada than it is to the southernmost part of Brazil. So yes, there are places on the US that are closer to the Amazon than some places in Brazil

Brazil electricity is 60 hertz, so I guess it'd be a bit different :)

Yeah, I see.
