Adopting existing tools that work, applying them to the business problems at hand, and quickly iterating in the business domain rather than endlessly swirling in the vortex of technobabble is woefully underrated. I’ve worked at two kinds of companies before: One that only cares about measurable business outcomes, accruing technical debt and blaming engineers when no one wants to work with their codebase, ultimately hurting the product. Another that has staff engineers spending all day on linter configurations and writing seldom-read RFCs while juniors want to ditch Celery for Kafka because the latter is hip.

A deep dive into how modern developer tools bring typing, CI/CD integration, and version control to engineering teams where they work.

This blog post has been on my to-do list ever since I saw Daniel Stenberg’s blog post “This is how I git” (November 2020). I thought, “I should do one of those posts, too!” This post focuses on my basic muscle-memory git commands. There are at least two other major Git subtopics this post doesn’t mention at all: “branching discipline” (what is a release branch? what’s the difference between rebase and merge?) and “hygiene” (how big should a commit be? what does a good commit message look like?). That is — as usual for this blog — we’re talking tactics, not strategy.

I spent some time at work looking into speeding up TypeScript type checking via tsc. One of the biggest wins I found was also one of the simplest to implement.
