@seldo@alpaca.gold @brianleroux@indieweb.social You're stating this like it's facially ridiculous, but I don't see why it is. "Persuasive" not just meaning personally persuasive, but persuasive with the backing and credibility of Facebook? This does not seem particularly far-fetched.

@seldo@alpaca.gold @brianleroux@indieweb.social Fair enough, but I think it's a point you have to argue with data! Not immediately obvious.

@seldo@alpaca.gold @brianleroux@indieweb.social @ThePaulMcBride@indieweb.social well that's clearly not true. Thousands of devs were working hard on crypto garbage to knowingly scam people out of their life savings. Let's not assume everyone is in this profession for good reasons

@dr2chase@ohai.social are write barriers the kind of thing you can catch in your front-end, or does this logic flow into the optimizer?

@polotek@social.polotek.net @slightlyoff@toot.cafe kind of unclear where something like typescript falls in here. Naively I’d expect it’s not zero expense, but it also seems like being able to write your code with type annotations could save time and bugs
