What net worth number were you looking to retire with? I don’t know if I have another 30 years in me. Maybe 5 max.

That's the idea. If you're like most people, you are going to work for a long time still, so you might as well look for enjoyable work. You might not find a perfect job, but at least something that you can tolerate for a long time.

So did the author ever achieve the job change? It doesn’t come to that conclusion.

This has nothing to do with TypeScript

Generally speaking, if someone specifies "TypeScript," I expect the type system to be the interesting part of the writeup. Otherwise, it could say "JavaScript."

(It could say "React," but still, the interesting part is that you built a scraper/visualizer, not that it used React.)


If the headline said "Using Python to obtain one of the rarest license plates" you wouldn't think twice.

That’s true. But the analogy is more correct if it said “Using Mypy to obtain…”

The scripts he wrote to pull the data were written in TypeScript, though all the TS I see is in the parameters in the function signature. Also he used Next.js for the dashboard

I think the GP's point was that the part of the article that's most interesting is the investigation into how the DMV's plate system works. The fact that Typescript was used is incidental (of course this could have been done in pretty much any language), and it's an odd choice to include the language choice in the article title.

Isn't that a pack of 5? So divide the ink price by 5. Much lower than the printer.

It's honestly hard to tell, but I think the pack of 5 is for the set, not 5 of each.


There's no way a tardigrade is half a sea snail.


Therapists are dumb meatbags like us. Also often trained incorrectly, biased etc.


and how did that make you feel


So you're saying even dumber wordsacks, completely untrained in mental health, and biased are somehow better?

You can still use tables.


Of course, as implied by, "we largely moved away from tables."
