The most productive thing you can do is discover that something could NOT be done.

Documentation is a form of API design, but where the code is prose and the tech stack is the human cognitive apparatus. Every person has a different one of those. Imagine writing JavaScript where every single user has a bespoke browser.

Oh hey, it's my amazing wife! GDoC is a great event; go get tickets and hear what she has to say!

If you read Typescript's "extends" keyword as "is more specific than" it's easier to understand. Especially in conditional generics: `T extends string` (T is a string or specific string) `string extends T` (T is `string` or `any`)

Here's the text of my #GDoC 2022 talk for those who prefer to read. Thanks again to Game Devs of Color Expo for having me! bit.ly/beyond-the-her…

re: building/deploying with AWS in the latest Syntax: AWS CDK has a module that can directly convert your source into Lambdas, by integrating esbuild into the CDK deployment process. Lets you stick to Typescript, and not worry about dependencies. docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/api/v2/doc…

Did you know that JavaScript functions inherit the name of the variable they're assigned to? And that there's no such thing as an "anonymous" JavaScript function? adamcoster.com/blog/javascrip…
