Effective immediately is surprising. Why such a sudden shutdown?

I’m confused because the comment you replied to said “There are no other mainstream languages with a similar type system, which means it's uniquely easy to do very complex things with type safety.”, but with the examples you gave, I don’t see why other statically typed languages cannot do this. Or are you just referring to the benefits in general and not a TS specific aspect?

I worked at a company which relied on significant use of Postgres triggers and it was not simplified in my mind due to:

- Engineers being more comfortable expressing the required business logic in the other languages they were working in then PL/pgSQL

- Challenging to write tests for the triggers

- Harder to deploy variations for testing if needed

> Our early analysis of performance data suggests that engineers who either joined Meta in-person and then transferred to remote or remained in-person performed better on average than people who joined remotely. This analysis also shows that engineers earlier in their career perform better on average when they work in-person with teammates at least three days a week. This requires further study, but our hypothesis is that it is still easier to build trust in person and that those relationships help us work more effectively.

Strange to phrase the entire post off "I never have worked in BigTech, but here's anecdotal thoughts of why I've heard it would suck"

I haven’t worked on mobile iOS development. My question is about you requiring to wait on the review process of the App Store for your fix. Would a design where you abstract your parsing logic etc behind your own API be allowed? Then you could make changes as required without being stuck in approval.

And here it's directly mentioned in the guidelines of how 'Show HN' should work:

https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html

> Please don't ask friends to upvote or comment. That's not ok on HN.

https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html#ring

> Can I ask people to upvote my submission?

> No. Users should vote for a story because they personally find it intellectually interesting, not because someone has content to promote. We penalize or ban submissions, accounts, and sites that break this rule, so please don't.

> Can I ask people to comment on my submission?

> No, for the same reason. It's also not in your interest: HN readers are sensitive to this and will detect it, flag it, and use unkind words like 'spam'.

My claim? My post said - what are the odds all of these old accounts appeared out of the blue to post their first comment here? If you are taking that question as a personal insult, I'm sorry you feel that way.
