I'm sure you can understand that both of them are awful, and one does not justify the other (feel free to choose which is the "one" and which is the "other").

The guys at Azure aren't the best at all. My last Azure surprise: you can create custom attribute types for users. But you cannot update or delete these custom attribute types. So if you create one for testing because you are trying to

Type systems don't deal with variables. Type systems deal with interactions between values. Maybe those values are inline, maybe they are stored in variables. You don't imply anything from an assignment other than the variable now

Frontpage code is isolated in a single file, a single page in your website. AI code is often reused, because it's code and you are supposed to export/import it. Hence the damage spreads instead of being contained.

JS has a dynamic type system. You may not like it, that doesn't mean it doesn't have one. Otherwise, no programming language would have a type system except for Idris, for exactly the same reason.

TS is fine. Some people overengineer it absurdly. But in decent quantities is fine. I have recently used NextJS, after not using it for a few years. It feels like it has jumped the shark. Meh new features bur requires redoing many things.

Well, then target dead people. Find someone who died 6 months ago, have AI make them a blasphemer, have the sect look for dead people. After the third or fourth time, they'll stop. Not because they want to stop, but because they don&#x

Also, the 555 is an ancient chip, that pretty much appeared as the basic chip (along with it's friend, the 741 general purpose op-amp), being the two of them the protagonists of pretty much 70% of the hobby circuits in the 80s.
