Indeed, but what's convenient for a bunch of tech bros might not be convenient for the world order.

It was meant to be mostly a joke, I agree it's vague and I do the same as you do. Though the point stands - very senior or principal engineers/developers/architects are not there to write code.

A team lead should be hands on, I agree. But there are also technical people who operate above teams and even above departments - those probably don't code much. Most of their time is probably spent in business/strategy meetings and writing stuff in Jira and Confluence.

A principal engineer can be on the same hierarchy/influence level as a very senior manager or director, leading hundreds of people.

I never said it's required. The typings are really useful if you want to use these libraries "with TypeScript" as I said in my first comment... The typings are the whole point - that's where the advanced type features are used, and every user benefits - their own code can be much simpler and safer thanks to it.

Doesn't matter, I'm talking about the type definitions - @types/react, @types/react-dom and @types/express.

> And nobody uses most of it!

Everybody who does Express, React, or any other popular advanced libraries with TypeScript is using these features. Some things are simply more useful to libraries than line of business code - that's fine. The line of business code is much better thanks to it.

That's why I don't work with programmers in this capacity, programming is the simple part. I work with software engineers, and the best of them probably didn't even open an IDE this week yet. I don't need them to code, I need them to tell the programmers what and how to code.

Where do I buy it for my med kit?

They shouldn't have bought the domains, the rules were clear. What if the rules say that somebody else is supposed to get the IO domain?

No, we need to migrate off ccTLD.

Already during Erdogan's prime ministry, it was well known that Turkey is not really joining EU at least since 2010.

Yeah, but Turkey went way far away from EU much earlier.

What do you mean, by now? The only one who can do so is Tesla. Cybertruck is barely being sold in the US. It always took a few years before Tesla introduced an European version of a car. It's way too early to tell.
