Wow yeah, that's really cool. I hate how if I improve my property I'm penalized for it (unless I sell). People here end up living in cardboard boxes just to avoid paying high taxes.

The bad employee does do untold damage though. They don't live in a vacuum. Good people quit over them (and not everyone is comfortable with blaming it on an individual, so management may not even know they're the reason). Workspa

Quality of sleep is critical. It also gets an amazing lack of...shall I say "respect". Most people have neighbors. Houses are often built poorly insulated. City regulations often have a very tight window of "quiet" hours

I completely agree with your core point. I really hate gotcha questions too (and have come close to walk out of interviews over them quite a few times). On the other hand, ""gotchas" are usually easily Google-able too."

this is more than just types though. Typescript, even in strict mode, will still allow this! You need strict function arity/signature checking of some kind, which a dynamically typed language could have, and a statically typed language

tail call optimization is supposed in some runtime, but even without, the vast majority of fantasy land-style lib usage doesn't require it or any other special optimizations, really. Otherwise you should stop using lodash too.

There IS a reason why rent in high cost areas are so, well, costly. If you go to NYC or SF and make 400k/year after tax, who cares if housing costs you 300k out of that. Especially if you're buying, in which case you can get part
