We use this for TypeScript development at my company. Using swc for transpilation reduces build time from ~10s (small-ish codebase) to near instant. We can then wrap it in entr [1] to get live API reloading for free.
For type checking, you can run the TypeScript compiler in another window in watch mode, or just rely on editor warnings until the code hits CI.

It’s interesting to compare the Bloomberg article with this one from the South China Morning Post, titled “Alibaba founder Jack Ma says companies forcing staff to work overtime are ‘foolish’”. Two articles reporting on the same statements and drawing completely different conclusions. It’s getting harder to find the truth.

This is great, I love the design!
Something I’ve noticed is just how expensive medical apps can be. When I was younger I trialled a program with an optometrist to strengthen my eyes, that would have cost upwards of $1000 to use at home. That night I replicated it in two hours with Python.
I wonder what other applications could be cloned and released as open source, would be a massive benefit for lower income patients.
At Geora, we're building a platform to connect farmers with supply-chain finance, backed by sustainability credentials and data-rich assets. After recently raising a seed round we're looking to grow our fully-remote core team and continue building out our finance product over the next few years.
We are looking for a software engineer with experience in building applications for payments, finance, or banking, to lead the development of the Geora finance product, including integrating worldwide in-platform payments in fiat currencies, encoding complex financial instruments in smart contracts, and incorporating decentralised finance and crypto payments into the platform. Our small engineering team has a lot of freedom to experiment and build solid tech, with our current stack including Ethereum and Solidity smart contracts, a TypeScript GraphQL API, Elm frontend, and a growing number of services in Haskell and PureScript (we love functional programming!).
Check out the position and our other openings here [1] or email us at hello (at) geora (dot) io.
