True enough. Although personally I prefer to just use regular functions rather than big inheritance chains.

Probably if nothing else, impossible to have it perform well without static typing?

In most languages you could probably solve this problem with a class. But wrapping all your numbers in a class with runtime consequences, just for a bit of extra type safety, feels quite extreme.

It's hardly odd. "Even" just means "divisible by 2" "2 is the only prime that is divisible by 2" "3 is the only prime that is divisible by 3" "5 is the only prime that is divisible by 5&quot

Runtime validate at the database boundary? Isn't it better to just do runtime validation at the api boundary instead? Then any of the types that make it into the database should be mostly guaranteed by TS (and of course, whatever types

You find it weird that a type system doesn't do runtime validation? Is that common in many other languages?

Looks like the bug was in a monkey-patched `window.fetch` https://github.com/PostHog/posthog-js/blob/759829c67fcb8720f... The biggest lesson here is, if you're writing a popular library that monkey-patch

The funny thing is, it was pretty clear to me he meant that as a bit of a joke. The question on our application is "are you a fit for the JD" For the most part, the answer is "obviously yes, that's why I'm applying&

Would absolutely love to know how other engineers on HN approach interviews and assessing technical competence. I didn't _think_ I had any mis-steps here but would love to know if anyone thinks there's something I could have fixed

At this point TS is a turing complete language. Complaining that you have to tune it for performance is like complaining that your runtime code isn't automatically maximally performant without a little tuning.

Very cool! Will you also add support for secret based 2FA codes, similar to Authy / Google Authenticator? It would be incredible to have those autofill.

But this isn't an `any -> any` case. They passed in a default value, as a string, which is the correct type for a default value for this column. Even with very strong typing they wouldn't have got a type error here right?

This might be a silly question, but what would be the downside of a single threaded language similar to javascript, but where every function is just 'async capable' and can always be non-blocking, with no special syntax like async

...then you'll need to use a slightly less convenient way to pay? Not sure what you're angling at here.
