I think it depends on your company rather than saying "most". If you are in a software company (i.e. you sell the software you write), then your value is the unique IP you create from writing code. In that case, hopefully a larger portion of your day is coding.

edit: When I say coding, I don't mean plumbing code, I mean something that is actually a unique invention.

I have delivered successfully projects using Scrum, but we were fortunate that our Scrum Master was well trained and a senior engineer. Our CTO also let us figure things out, and helped us when we were blocked. He was genuinely concerned with the team having a balanced workload, ensured we deliver user value and our software was of high quality. Story points were not used as performance metrics but a tool to help provide stakeholders with some estimation, but only when our velocity became stable. Overall, our process was light-weight, we spent most of our time coding, and we pushed hard to deliver value to the user. If we fell short, we learned from it, no blame, just learned.

The documentation is pretty standard, it allows users of this typeface to build out a design system that scales.

Doesn't autoplay for me, maybe I have a different local setting.

As a parent, I'm hoping this will reduce the at-home workloads and shift more work towards school. What's the real life value of having students go to school and then spend all-nighters trying to do homework and all the expected extra-curricular?

I wish HN had a central thread feature for discussing oft-debated topics like TDD, microservices, and agile. This way, we could contribute to the conversation instead of constantly rehashing the same points through new posts.

I was genuinely interested in OP's question and was hoping responses would not fallback on the much-already discussed "TDD or not" topic.

This is great! I messed up my ankle when I began taking transit and walking to the office in a pair of terrible dress hoes.

Maybe then question then is how does one get every developer to design and build modules as you have prescribed? (Recognizing different talent levels across the industry / delivery deadlines). Genuinely curious to know a scalable solution for this.

Be curious to know if anyone who has trademark legal knowledge can answer this question. Since the word Impossible is common, as far as I can gather, if it is for a different industry you indeed could use it?

If you are writing code by yourself and your code base is relatively small, then I agree it's hard to see the benefits at first.

If your team and code base grows, one of the first things you'll notice is a lot of time wasted trying to figure out what parameter types a method takes. If you can imagine, a new person onboarding on your code base and having to figure this out constantly and then forgetting, is pretty inefficient.

TypeScript solves that problem since you declare types explicitly in code. The new person will know exactly the parameter types, the IDE can support you more intelligently, and you'll get upfront compile time errors.

The downside is the initial setup and the extra effort of declaring types, so it comes with a cost, but personally I think the benefit outweighs the cost.
