Personal preference is valid only to an extent. At a certain point, with enough scale/team size/complexity TypeScript becomes invaluable. I've worked on projects that would have been intractable without TypeScript. This is a

Unsure if mentioned already, but I keep a repository of all my Linux configuration files. I have scripts that link them all out to the correct places. Then for almost any tweak I make, I script it into a massive install.sh script I maintain

I found Stripe usage quite complicated. It felt like they were handling very complex use cases at the expense of simpler ones (which are probably the majority). It's one of those things where once you're already "in the know&

> I've actually never seen a proper codebase in Typescript. That's the problem then. I have, and have clearly seen in the real world why it's superior. ES6/Coffeescript can obviously be done correctly, but chaos tends
