These look like they might be the slides from SPJ's talk at Haskell eXchange this year. I'm hoping they'll upload a video soon, which'll probably be a lot more fun than slides. They've only got the recording up for

The main advantage Flow has over Typescript is soundness. Neither language is sound, but Flow tries a bit harder, and so there are fewer cases where you write bugs that 'should' be caught by the type checker. Here are a few exampl

Every Door and StreetComplete seem to do different things, with a bit of overlap. StreetComplete works by asking you for more details about certain things that are already on the map. It seems like Every Door doesn't ask you specific q
