Exactly. Also I am pretty sure that every few months will someone find more appropriate symbol for each tag.

It is not only about the adds. Even if you pay, they will still spy on you and sell/use this data to show you adds somewhere else on the internet. I will start paying only if they treat me as customer and not as product.

I prefer to fix bugs before they hit production. It is almost impossible to do that without tests. Also testable code is usually much more readable than untestable god objects, tightly coupled modules and spagetti code.

No, first question I would have: Why are you talking so much about your education?

It feels like profile from a guy who just finished school. I do not thing that education is that important in startups or business generally.

Did the same thing on work email and found only messages from gitlab. But only 10% of those messages were marked as spam the others were in inbox so I did not notice. This convinced me not to trust gmail antispam.

But that is just one one electron app. Imagine that every desktop app you use is written in electron. I am pretty sure that even 32GB workstation would be stretched to the limits.

Because it is not used by runtime. Mypy is just linter which adds additional restrictions on code which are not enforced by interpreter. You can have false positives so correct python code must be fixed to pass linter checks. In my opinion if you need static type checks you should use statically typed language and not hurt your coding speed by such partial solution. Also majority of python libraries do not use type annotations so you are limited to your code.

I do not understand what people like about vscode. If I ignore insane resource consumption this is at most average IDE (the only real benefit over sublime "text editor" is integrated debugger). This is most preferred editor at work so I am forced to work with it and there are some of the most serious issues I have:

1. Only one side panel, so I can't see outline, test results and project files at the same time as I am used to see on widescreen monitors in other IDEs.

2. Language servers are still not comparable to solutions offered by java IDEs and in case of C++ they are worse than anything else I used.

3. Python extension constantly forgets and founds unit test. There is little support for unit test in other languages.

4. Official C++ extension despite being completely useless consumes several gigabytes of space for "indexed" files (I wonder if it is so bad to not hurt sales of Visual Studio). I also tried to use clangd which is better but there is still a lot of work to be done before it is useful.

I like sublime rust support for really small projects and eclipse support for larger projects (which is not ideal) but I have not coded anything serious in rust yet, so I do not know if there is some good IDE.

I tried to use type hints but I do not see enough value in them to justify making code more complex. It looks to me that they are similar to hungarian notation as they make refactoring harder but they are not reliable and does provide little value in checking program correctness. They are just documentation embedded into variable declaration used only for linting so I tend to not trust them.

Recently started working on Typescript project and it looks to me like java with really poor tooling, C++ like compilation times and huge mess in libraries (i.e. how to determine which version of @types package I need). I think that Typescript is really step back from java.

If you do that you will probably hurt your productivity. There still will possible errors made by using 3rd party code.

In my opinion optional type checking is not comparable to statically typed language guaranties. So if I do not need types I would use python. If I need/want type specification I would use statically typed language.

Only if they are correct. I am pretty sure that in old code base it will not be correct unless automatically checked before commit.

That's not true. From my experience unit tests are great for agile. It will allow you to create "trusted" modules which you can move around and rework much easier (you can also treat your tests as executable documentation). Without tests you can't safely do any change to existing code especially if you are changing code written by someone else. You have to risk it and than spent considerable time in debugger if it breaks something unrelated to your feature.

It was the same for me. I was scared that I would be dependent on drugs for the rest of my life. So I avoided doctor and cured myself with some kind of "psychoterapy" and change of lifestyle. When I felt really down I smoked marijuana a little but not more than once a week for the same reason.

Actually I really do not like VSC resource consumption and performance. It feels more like eclipse than text editor but it does not offer as many features. If I want something fast and lightweight I reach for vim or sublime. But I do not care about start time as I leave all those program open all the time.
