I was doing the Friday ritual. You know the one. Git pull. Open FileZilla. Upload files one by one. Refresh the browser. Hold your breath…

147 type errors. 0 patience. 1 senior dev who just said: “Follow the rules.” Here’s how 10 rules of TypeScript stopped my code from imploding. 👇 https://medium.com/@helleugilles/so-10-golden-rules-of-typescript-saved-my-code-6c8b6d5cdb5d

Wait, how did a "decentralized" platform like Bluesky go down for an hour? 🤷‍♂️ Turns out being decentralized in theory and practice are two very different things. Most users still connect through Bluesky's own servers. https://tinyurl.com/25nualeo
