When I ask why something isn't working with typescript in vscode at work people recommend restarting the language server with a keybind.
I'd send them a table flip emoji but im pretty sure they wouldn't get it, they legitimately think they're giving me good helpful advice.
They simply don't understand that if you need to restart something, said something is fucking broken.
- im3w1l 6y agoHaving to restart the language server is surely a disadvantage, but why make it be a dealbreaker? Maybe they see it as a cost worth paying?
- throwaway_pdp09 6y agoObviously it's a price worth paying but it should not be needed. MS could trivially collect these issues and fix them but they don't, people tolerate crappy software, the cost of bad software gets externalised not on the producer but amortised over many, many users, they tolerate it,the temperature goes up and the frog boils. If you put up with shit software, guess what you're going to get.
- waheoo 6y agoDoesn't help a common fix for node is `rm -rf node_modules`. Yikes, your fix for your software is just delete it and start over? What is so leaky about the build process.
- waheoo 6y agoIts crap software, I can use the vim version just fine, no restarts, no problem. Aside from that, I don't need typescript, its being forced on me. I do want typescript, because it has advantages. A frustratingly broken workflow is far too high of a cost to pay though.
