The whole thing is basically you can't know anything, and personal experience can't be trusted. So we are all helpless until "Science" tells us what to do. Until then sit on your hands.
Where is the proof that Javascript is a better language than Typescript? How do you know if you should be writing in Java/Python/C#/Rust/etc? Probably should wait to create your startup lest you fall into a psychological trap. That is the ultimate conclusion of this article.
It's ok to learn and experiment with things, and to build up your own understanding of the world based on your lived experiences. You need to be open minded and reevaluate your positions as more formalized understandings become available, but to say it's too dangerous to use AI because science hasn't tested anything is absurd.
- rightbyte 1y ago> Where is the proof that Javascript is a better language than Typescript? This is an interesting question really. It feels like it would be really hard to do a study on that. I guess the strength of TS would show up mainly as program complexity grows such that you can't compare toy problems in student exams or what ever.
- trod1234 1y ago> The whole thing is basically you can't know anything.... Well that position is hopelessly circular, filled with sophistry and fallacy. Descartes proved that one wrong in the 1600s. "Cogito, ergo sum," > Where is the proof that Javascript is a better language than Typescript? Any 'best' question relies upon an answer to the question of for what objective purpose. Not providing that answer, is the same as dissembling circularly, and any conclusion based on that is more likely to be false than true. False beliefs in this manner are by definition, delusion.
