I am a big proponent of a programming paradigm where writing code and building up relationships and connections leads to the emergence of new, unforeseen connections and avenues. Instead of leading you down the wrong paths and requiring rewrites, coding should sculpt and shape connections, offering surprising new connections for free. #software#code#programming#webdev#javascript
I think #Typescript needs to be described as a programming language for describing types that generates error messages which are often helpful, sometimes perplexing, and occasionally make you want to set fire to something, rather than a “superset of Javascript” (which it most definitely is not*).
(* Want an example? Javascript has true private class properties.)
Premise: I spend an hour talking with someone I know/admire about a mutual interest (#webdev, #videogames, #devtools, etc), then inevitably end up talking about #webextensions
It's like hanging out with a friend, but probably more awkward!
In my search for a #Pinboard alternative I found #Linkding, and it looks almost exactly what I was looking for.
It's only semi-social (closed/friends-only), could need an option for public access, and various tweaks here and there – but it’s very hackable (#Django, #Python, #svelte, #SQLite)
