How’s it going, I'm a Adam, a Full-Stack Engineer, actively searching for work. I'm all about JavaScript. And Frontend but don't let that fool you - I've also got some serious Backend skills.

At first it was because I wanted to try all the new hotness, but this is all quite old now so I guess I liked what both languages did for their respective areas. I like rusts no nonsense approach in that it's pretty hard to write bad code and it's pretty hard to write code from a beginners stand point, you really have to keep trying and failing and being repeatedly beaten over the head from the compiler until you end up with idomatic rust. On the other hand we have typescript, this is as flexible as you want, obviously I aspire to write strongly typed strict JavaScript but I tend to get a little lapse in my discipline over on this side, I get that freedom of prototyping speed that I don't in rust and I guess that's a nice pairing, now if I where a 10x I know this combination would lead to some incredibly resilient software.

I believe that at the end of the century the use of words and general educated opinion will have altered so much that one will be able to speak of machines thinking without expecting to be contradicted.

What a quote! Because it's true, I'm a lazy developer, I like my computer to help me to code at every stage. A 10x developer is a joke about the mythical inhuman skills of a developer that is superior to all other developers. I suppose I'm saying, if I weren't the human behind the machine this stack would meet the perfect criteria for excellent software, Microsoft seem to agree with me, for their software is being reengineered in rust, and the invented typescript and this new language which we don't know a lot about yet other than it's likely typescript like but will be used in the same space as rust, zig, d and other c alternatives.

That's fascinating. What do you mean by "now if I where a 10x I know this..."?
