I use it for a very large monorepo to replace prettier. So much faster! Also have it run on save in my editor now.

Now linting full codebase on precommit and it’s faster than just linting staged files with prettier!

"Well, gee, that's a lot. I'd be really impressed if our team could get to `$GOAL x 0.75` in $TIME. `GOAL x 0.25` is a big ask, we'll have to see..."

Lots of under promising. Aggressively, even when you get tired of it.

I even used this for a family call the other day to clip someone's dumb joke and share it later with fam.

Yep. I'm already sour against the IRS from just doing some tax calculations, saw the article title, and didn't even read the article before commenting! Edited my comment.

Cool, he got paid and all, but keep in mind that's $22M of yours and my tax money.

EDIT: Nevermind, I did not read the article before commenting. My mistake.

The reason most people tell me they use todos is, "you can't do everything up front."

I agree, but I hate TODOs. They're the worst form of keeping track of technical debt.

Just open a ticket! I like to have a tag/label called "debt" that I put these "TODO, bad implementation" type of problems under.

That way at least it's tracked.

+1 -- I use Stout all the time. I don't have to rely on anyone's uptime except AWS's. Stout's just a "shortcut" for using AWS infrastructure that I have full control of.

With Surge, I'd have to trust some startup's build tool not to fail at a vital time.

So Kickstarter money is counted as donations, right?

Does that mean that they don't have to pay sales tax on any of these preorders?

Why don't more people do, "We're not 100% sure if you're the right fit, but we'd like to find out. We'll pay you to work with us for [2/4] weeks."

Counter-argument:

A good micro-module removes complexity. It has one simple purpose, is tested, and you can read the code yourself in less than 30 seconds to know what's happening.

Take left-pad, for example. Super simple function, 1 minute to write, right? Yes.

But check out this PR that fixes an edge case: https://github.com/azer/left-pad/pull/1

The fact of the matter is: every line of code I write myself is a commitment: more to keep in mind, more to test, more to worry about.

If I can read left-pad's code in 30 seconds, know it's more likely to handle edge cases, and not have to write it myself, I'm happy.

The fault in this left-pad drama is not "people using micro-modules". The fault is in npm itself: all of this drama happened only because npm is mutable. We should focus on fixing that.

Ridiculous, Canada. The "Language Police" literally exist.
