Would you stop work? Just tell them you’re not coming in until this is over? What would that look like? Would you get fired? Would you still get fired if your whole team or half your division refused to work? If your union was ready to strike over it?
Maybe you can’t stop work. Maybe you’re unemployed. Maybe you’re retired. Maybe you still have people to take care of — from your income, or as part of the job you do. •Think• about it. What •could• you stop, work or otherwise? How could you prepare for that, save now, be ready?

Found an edge case with Walmart self-checkout, to start the checkout you need to scan an item, however they sell items without a barcode (e.g. jalapeños), so it’s possible that you have only items that you can’t scan.

In what I’m telling myself is in no way feature creep, I just added experimental TypeScript support to Kitten in a dev branch.
I’m actually surprised how easy it was to do. Given I’m already using esbuild to create the Kitten bundle and already using a custom module loader, the change was basically making esbuild a dependency instead of a dev dependency, lazily transforming .ts files in the loader, and updating a few places in the code to ensure that you can use .ts as an extension in …
