me sowing: I'm gonna do this in a hacky way because idk how many people will use this thing
me reaping: why is everyone just adding to my hacky nonsense
BTW if you are "happy with your job thanks" and "already working on TS at scale" (think: your tsc build is many minutes), please also reach out, we'd love to compare notes.
Oh yeah here's one of our super cool tools www.notion.com/blog/how-we-...
Speaking of office, we're IRL in San Francisco. For this posting no experience on a Dev Experience team is necessary! If you love to fix those annoying papercuts that keep your team from shipping faster, but never had the time, you're a great fit.
More pros:
- Notion is a pretty great company, you can be on a dev experience team anywhere and why not here.
- Reportedly our new office just a few months away will have excellent "library vibes".
- We support, work with, and learn from a ton of really cool engineers.
Job posting for Software Engineer, Developer Experience San Francisco, California Text reads: About Us: We're on a mission to make it possible for every person, team, and company to tailor their software to solve any problem and take on any challenge. Computers may be our most powerful tools, but most of us can't build or modify the software we use on them every day. At Notion, we want to change this with focus, design, and craft.
MY TEAM is once again hiring for SOFTWARE ENGINEERS
Pros:

Twitter post from Scott Alexander (@slatestarcodex) reads: People had lots of questions about my drowning child tweet yesterday - eg do I believe in infinite moral obligation? Rather than try to answer piecemeal, I'll just give my whole theory of morality and charity here so you can criticize it or let me know if it has unexpected horrible implications. I think it's virtuous to help others, including strangers, foreigners, and whichever animals are conscious.

Screenshot of Wikipedia page for Mexico reads: United Mexican States Estados Unidos Mexicanos (Spanish)
Mexico should get dibs, they're already United States too!
so, did anyone ever figure out how to explain to someone that they should care about other people? asking for a friend

regrettably it seems it is yet again time for one of my codegen tools to grow an IR
now I want to ban not only `if (<non-boolean>)` and `!!value` but also `Boolean(value)`. isDefined and === only.
(without looking I only got false, undefined, null, [+]0, and "")
indeed, it is not (although I had also forgotten it was falsy)
damn TIL #9 that's so weird
