@Sythelux @grvsmth @jonny pleeeeeese, if typescript because that's what the budget developer talent knew. It's not like they're going to go out and recruit a bunch of unix grey beards to vibe their way to success.

@geichel @Sythelux @jonny That ignores the whole question of why Typescript and not just vanilla Javascript. And I'm skeptical that they couldn't find enough Java or C#, or even Python, coders. Unix graybeards, please! But that aside, it undermines the case that anyone can do vibe coding. If I (many years of experience in Python, Java, PHP, Perl) can't vibe-code in COBOL or FORTRAN, how likely is it that a middle manager who's never written a line of anything can do it in Typescript?
