Episode notes
TypeScript's Role
- TypeScript helps catch easy bugs and provides coding hints.
- It's not a perfect system and requires trade-offs, like writing code to appease it, even if your code is correct.
Preventing Back Pain
- Maintain good posture, especially keeping shoulder blades pinched, to avoid back pain.
- Incorporate dynamic stretches, like gentle twists, for spine mobility.

- This helps manage costs for hobby projects, especially with serverless functions.
