   I’m still here listening to podcasts, trying to do typescript and wondering how I can be so bad at this when my first browser building job was in 2005.

     Don’t tell anyone that we don’t actually know how big that int is. In the words of our elders:

     It depends.

     Web devs are really cool in general, but the CSS people are the real GOATs.

     I’m just a C++ dev looking at her debugger asking it why she has to deal with undefined, null, empty strings, empty arrays, empty objects… whatever… I can’t even remember what is falsy.
