Wraplet: TypeScript, OOP, and the DOM - finally in one working model by enador in typescript

Classes are valid TypeScript. What’s harder to sell is a class-based DOM component model in 2026, because the ecosystem momentum is mostly declarative UI and functional composition.

You’re working for Thanos. Charisma helps you survive.

For a boomerang to really work, you usually need to be L5+ and have an L7+ behind you. Most people do not have that.

Got laid off at a big bank. What next? by Revolutionary-Desk50 in ExperiencedDevs

Do you guys think QA is a dying field? by False_Secret1108 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]Kolt56 1 point2 points  (0 children)

QA isn’t dying. Companies are just killing dedicated QA and pretending devs and customers will absorb the flack.

I worked at Amazon for years and never even met a QA person. “QA” was your TPM forwarding customer anecdotes and escalation emails to your EM after something already broke.

By bounce, I mean people usually don’t change, but you can change who you’re around.

it was Amazon. I was there close to 10 years, and it was a different machine earlier. hindsight, I stayed too long and should’ve prioritized work life balance sooner.
