The people who create software generally refer to themselves as software engineers, and yet if they graduate from university, it is typically with a degree in computer science.

Every software project needs to represent the reality of the business he is embedded in. The way we can represent reality as limited rational beings is through propositions, i.e, declarative statements that affirm or deny something about reality. When a collection of such propositions is stored in a computer system, we call it a database. Such database needs to be designed to properly reflect reality. This can’t be automated, since the semantics of the situation need to be encoded in a way that can be processed by a computer.

The light of someone's life might not be just another person, but light in the literal sense. According to a recent study by researchers from University of Calgary, every living system emits light without requiring external excitation due to a biological phenomenon known as ultraweak photon emission (UPE).

In this article, I talk about an inherent trade-off in TypeScript's type system: stricter types are safer, but often more complex. I describe a phenomenon I call "hyper-typing", where libraries - in pursuit of perfect type safety - end up with overly complex types that are hard-to-understand, produce cryptic errors, and paradoxically even lead to unsafe workarounds.

I argue that simpler types, or even type generation, often lead to a more practical and enjoyable developer experience despite being less "perfect".
