Should I make a video about JSDoc or Flow? 🤔

[@dreamecho100]

Both would be great, JSDoc first and then Flow

[@uchennaofoma4624]

There's this other one that was in the same category with flow too... But I forget what the name was 😅

[@lauralong3091]

interesting history about typescript being born from building VS Code.. thanks for adding that.

[@caerulemusic]

how'd you get all that stock footage of me being frustrated at my desk bro

[@PaulSebastianM]

Using TS, even in complex libraries, is a skills issue. There are complex types in libraries like Effect-TS, React Table, AG Grid, TanStack Query, etc., and they don't complain like DHH. 😂

And there's me: Python was my first love then I married to JavaScript and currently having an extramarital affair with Typescript.😂😂😂

[@QueeeeenZ]

TypeScript all day, every day, no excuses 🔥

[@SerenModz21]
