    Our readingLabour markets will eventually recover from AI, but the speed of the transition makes the short term unusually painful compared with past technologies.

    To be clear, speed in itself does not mean labor markets and employment won’t eventually recover, it just implies the short-term transition will be unusually painful compared to past technologies, since humans and labor markets are slow to react and to equilibrate.

    Our readingTypeScript's type annotations cost more in friction than they return in safety, and a front-end framework is better off written in plain JavaScript.

    TypeScript just gets in the way of that for me. Not just because it requires an explicit compile step, but because it pollutes the code with type gymnastics that add ever so little joy to my development experience, and quite frequently considerable grief.
