Hey I am sponsored by Turso, an edge database. I think they are pretty neet. Give them a try for free and if you want you can get a decent amount off (the free tier is the best (better than planetscale or any other))

I love that I have pretty much 0 experience with JS, and yet I can get every single question right by asking myself “what would be the craziest possible result here?”

[@Reverberie]

javascript feels like when i try to interpret my dreams

The interview: "Invalid octal 018 that defaults to decimal minus valid octal 015"

[@itsteelworks]

It is truly amazing how much of JavaScript you miss out on by not doing aggressively stupid things with it

[@shell_jump]

I finally understand the rust people.

I don't know about Javascript, but in other languages, the main use cases I've seen for raw strings are:

Hey man, just wanted to thank you.

[@mattmmilli8287]

lol he updated the title cause he left Netflix 😂

[@KyleHarrisonRedacted]

I am pretty sure the title changed from “FAANG engineer reacts to ExFAANG engineer” right after the announcement on the main channel lol

[@oleg4966]

It cares more about debugging and foundational understanding than pure DS&A.

[@toifel]

I'll have to lay down after this

[@StinkyCatFarts]

I love that you would never actually run into these problems if you code properly

[@wojciechosinski5927]

I love that after 20min of bamboozling there was a phrase in an explanation to one of the questions: “if you do this instead you’d get a result you would have expected from the beginning”. You can’t expect anything after that

Hearing expert JavaScript developers talk about its type system is a prime example of Stockholm Syndrome.
