It's basically a book you can talk to. A book can contain incredibly knowledge, but it's a preserve artifact of intelligence, not intelligence.

Yes, I'm sure they're still processed but I think it would make sense to give less credence to anonymous tips as they're less likely to be legit or serious than one that someone puts their name on.

It can be overkill if you need something simple that doesn't match next's defaults, but if the default settings of next work for your use case I found the base project setup very simple to use.

Have you tried using an auto formatter? Let's you write code however and fixes the structure automatically on save. It's way easier for me to write curly braces then hit ctrl+s than have to select multiple lines manually and tab in and out. I feel the biggest gains I've made in productivity came after I learned to embrace tooling.

I was taught java my first semester. I certainly hope no schools teach dynamic languages in the first semester.

To be perfectly frank, I've only seen the drama on social media platforms. Outside of this one library Ive hardly seen anyone trying to fight typescript in the professional community.

I view it more like a powered exoskeleton around a blob fish. IMO static typing is way more valuable than strong typing and I'd take static typing only over strong typing any day if I can only choose one.

I don't see any practical use case for it as is as anyone wanting to use them would want the full TS feature set anyways, but I could see it being a good step forward for more meaningful features to be added in the future.

Curious if you've used next with react. React itself has a scope rendering design goal and leaves the rest of the app to the community, and next sets up all the stuff around it for you and I think they did a really great job with the defaults they close, and it's still fully extendable.

Maybe I'm just too used to it, but with next.js static site generation I find react to also work really well for simple sites too. If you're not dealing with state, react is basically just functions that return templated html. IMO it's pretty sleek for static websites since tsx let's you do basic templating with functions.

Best practices are pretty straight forward in the typescript community. Frankly I think all the serious professionals from the JavaScript community just went to TS so the people left over that didn't migrate are well...

Why would you not want to be using a rendering library? Your code is basically storing your application state in the dom which will turn into a horrible mess as soon as you reach any actual level of complexity. I know first hand. I'm traumatized from having to maintain large jquery code bases in the 00s. No serious professional writes code like this anymore.

Also, your vanilla code isn't modern. It should look more like this:

document.querySelector("#element").classList.toggle("hidden")

I could see not wanting to use a rendering library if you're building a simple site on top of basic static HTML, but that's not a serious discussion for industry professionals, and even still, jQuery is such a heavy dependency for saving some characters. If you find yourself using it so much you need the extra convenience then your site is already complicated enough that you should be using a rendering library with state management instead.
