Are you using types when you should be linting?

I’m a big fan of static typing. With Kanel, I generate types for Typescript from Postgres databases. That means that the compiler helps me remember if a member has a fullName or firstName+ lastName columns/properties. If I mistype or mis-remember, a squiggly line in my editor or a CI failure…

Name is the Leftmost Part of Semver

Hyperbolic Growth

15 years ago I felt like the world was improving at record speeds because of technological advances. And I was a part of it. Not that I did anything particularly influential, but I identified with the tech sector and it felt like “my people” were freeing the world of the…
