Yeah I said something about this in the last @tmir.reactiflux.com episode. Clearly indicating what context code runs in is a tough problem to solve, I'm not a huge fan of the use of directive, but there isn't really a clear alternative atm www.reactiflux.com/transcripts/...
![Carl: As I'm trying to think about how you might solve problems of caching and runtime things without directives. And I'm thinking about, you know, my experiences using like CloudFlare workers or other runtimes where it's not a traditional process scope. And I don't know, I guess like it is a really challenging question of like, how do you signal to a developer that the file they're editing runs in a certain type of context? [00:51:27]
And I guess I understand why directives are an appealing thing to reach for, but man, just the state we're in right now is really a lot. I found the Next.JS docs page with directives and it lists 'use cache', 'use client', 'use server', and then two sub variants of 'use cache'. And that's not all of 'em that, so there's missing ones here and. [00:51:56]
I don't know. When you start getting into like many different contexts, just naming them at the top of the file doesn't really seem like enough for me. I don't know. And then like the implication for that code can import other code that will not have it flagged what context it's running in via a directive at the top of the file. [00:52:20]
And I don't know. It's a tough problem. It's a weird unanswered question in the industry, like not even the ecosystem, but like the industry. How do you flag code that might run on your browser, a real server, serverless environment, and yeah, I don't know. It's a challenge.

Soooo instead I hiked the washout. I got here too late to get out to the actual falls unfortunately, but I had a great time on a night hike on the washout (also I saw a donkey)

![A screenshot of text, with an intellisense popup revealing the resulting type at the end. It reads:
```ts
export type SnakeToCamelCase<S extends string> =
S extends `${infer T}_${infer U}`
? `${T}${Capitalize<SnakeToCamelCase<U>>}`
: S;
export type SnakeToCamelCaseObject<T> = {
[K in keyof T as K extends string ? SnakeToCamelCase<K> : K]:
T[K] extends object ? SnakeToCamelCaseObject<T[K]> : T[K];
};
interface snakes {
ball_python: string;
boa_constrictor: string;
black_mamba: string;
anaconda: string;
}
export type snakesCamelCase = SnakeToCamelCaseObject<snakes>;
```
And the resulting type is:

Power and defense droid are active. Toxic waste from mechanoid charging/production is starting to build up, gonna try to store it so it doesn't pollute. Future tech will let me recycle it (right?)

Commuter trains packed with bipedal primates
Humans don't need to fight to survive, great
Enough resources we can all just go and have a nice day
But its 8:30 am and "I can see you’re not online”
Wait, while we could be frolicking
We’re sitting here in offices
Reading about the politics thats leading us into bombing shit
Constantly exposing shit
Leaking out their orifice
And somehow these fucking cunts keep on profiting!
[Chorus]
The temperature keeps rising, I feel sea sick
This might be it
Fascists on the rise
Tell ‘em “Eat shit!”
This might be it
Live the life I want before I leave it
This might be it
I saw it in my dream and now it's real, shit
This might be it](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:vj54op7mobr3edx24yn6uax4/bafkreihtcrumwcqvoude3jgkm5x4ntuwaxnas6hgfwbtfjolr4bacpu6tu@jpeg)
