Episode notes

TypeScript documentation says it will always get fully erased when you're using type only import and there is no remnant. On top of that, I think type only import can clarify that the code imports types, not values. So I'm going to say you almost will never need to use type imports in TypeScript.

In this potluck episode of Syntax, Wes and Scott answer your questions about Prisma, CSS variables in React components, JS notebooks, transcribing podcasts, keeping up with dev skills, selling a domain, and more.
