Jason Lengstorf appeared as a guest on a recent episode of my Podcast, Design Doc. I’ve had a request for transcripts, so I tried an AI-powered transcription service and will post the transcript below. Unfortunately, it’s broken up into two separate pieces, but it should be fairly easy to follow. Brad Cypert (00:00): Thanks for […]

I’ll work on improving the audio quality going forward, but I’d love to know your thoughts! Wanna see more content like this in the future? Lemme […]

TypeScript, a relatively new addition to the “JavaScript Alternatives” scene, also aims to add a new level of safety in the form of type safety. Naturally, it makes sense for us to want to […]
