@rbuckton That is a bummer, super unexpected:( very sorry to hear this.

After 18 years at Microsoft, with roughly a decade of that time working on TypeScript, I have unfortunately been let go in the latest round of layoffs. I need to take a few days to process before I start looking for work. Thanks to everyone who's been part of my journey so far.

@basarat Yes, one of first patterns that we’ve supported was typing ‘import {} from blah’ then placing the cursor inside {} and triggering completion. It was working but the typing flow was broken which was super annoying

The JavaScript module system import syntax is bad. It should “import from what” not “import what from”. Something TypeScript team knew but JS TC39 got wrong. Goes to show importance of a developer tooling first language design. Good that TS team is now represented in TC39 ❤️

Going through the TypeScript origins documentary, here are a few additional perspectives….🧵

@jntrnr @jopamer I’d watch that :)

@SeaRyanC @atcb For this occasion I can share my t shirt “I’ve added baseUrl/paths and don’t regret it”

@atcb Please tune in for my upcoming conference talk, "Ryan reviews his most-downvoted GitHub comments and explains why he's more convinced than ever that he was right"

🌶️ Path aliases were added in 2015 to complement config for the RequireJS AMD module loader for the browser, popular at the time. If you’re using it in 2023 to create a resolution that doesn’t independently work at runtime, despite docs begging you not to, that might be a mistake

@rbuckton Nice! I wish we had it 6 years ago :)

I made a thing

The Meta layoffs hit a couple of very strong perf engineers I want to recommend, with particular expertise in low-level optimization, scheduling, and concurrency. If you're hiring in those areas please DM me for details.

My team at Meta -- which lowers costs and improves decision making of other teams -- has been disbanded as a cost cutting measure, part of the 11K employees laid off yesterday. I'm fine, and not looking for work right now. I am however very concerned for my team.

@KirillOsenkov Congratulations! That is an admirable loyalty to the platform:)

15 years at Microsoft today

@SeaRyanC @americanwombat I kind of miss this part of being the part of TS team

@americanwombat You don't say

🐱 I absolutely need X syntax. It's critical; my project is effectively blocked without it. This is a P0 must-have feature that's been missing for ten years! 🧔 You can use this one-line helper to accomplish the same goal 🐱 No I will not.

@jntrnr @MadsTorgersen @lukehoban @ahejlsberg @SeaRyanC @billticehurst Will add @fdsmars and @jopamer :)

Обращение к беларускому народу: многие из вас пошли на огромный риск в борьбе за свободную и демократическую Беларусь. Теперь вы выступаете против войны России в Украине и решения Лукашенко поддержать Москву. Спасибо за вашу храбрость. ЕС вместе с вами #StandWithUkraine #нетвойне

@ereliuer_eteer Get better soon!

I'm in bed for 3 days sick with some respiratory illness (likely covid).

@lu_a_jalla It depends on the perspective:) but from where I’m standing it is next and cool :)

Welcome to @jcoliz_ms as a new maintainer on #fsprojects project "ExcelFinancialFunctions", the model re-implementation of Excel financial functions by the famous Luca Bolognese github.com/fsprojects/Exc…

@dsymetweets @lu_a_jalla @jcoliz_ms Sounds exciting! :)

@lu_a_jalla @jcoliz_ms Not sure if Jay uses that twitter account any more, but you can catch him in the repo of course :))

@ahejlsberg Congrats!

25 years at Microsoft today. Can't believe it's been that long, but still having fun!

@rustlang @ryan_levick @badboy_ @jntrnr @ManishEarth Congrats @jntrnr !

Please welcome @ryan_levick, @badboy_, and @jntrnr to the team! Thank you @ManishEarth for everything you’ve done, the rest is well deserved!

Hey everyone, we’ve got some Core Team membership updates today! blog.rust-lang.org/2021/09/27/Cor…

@rbuckton Congratulations!

Today my wife and I have been married for 21 years. Our marriage is now legally old enough to drink in the US.

@jntrnr @typescript Neat! I remember making this demo:)

Unprecedented event! A civilian passenger plane flying to Vilnius was forcibly landed in #Minsk. Belarusian political activist & founder of @NEXTA_EN was on the plane. He is arrested. 🇧🇾 regime is behind the abhorrent action. I demand to free Roman Protasevič urgently!

@jntrnr @pcwalton We should be leaving .strada:) at least it was not ambiguous

Can we get GIMP to stop associating .rs files with itself on Windows? Looks like .rs is a nonstandard extension for the long-dead 1989 Sun Raster format (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun_Raster) used by a handful of old research papers and literally nobody is helped by this.
