#368“That's way too many pawns.”Roundtable2024.10.11This week, Ellen kicks things off with a chat about how games tell players, “This might be tough!” and how to make that fun and fair. Stephen and Mark jump in with their takes on what makes difficulty settings shine. Then, Mark thinks about the practice taking familiar game mechanics and twisting them into something fresh. Think pacifist runs or limited equipment modes. Why limit yourself to one way to play when you can remix the whole game?

TypeScript is now one of the top five programming languages, but what is it exactly? And why has everyone adopted it in recent years? This week, Paul and Rich sit down with Orta Therox, a former engineer on TypeScript at Microsoft. He breaks down what makes up a type system, how to migrate to Typescript, and why it could be considered “CTO Optimized.”Links: Orta Therox Orta Therox Twitter Typescriptlang.orgWhy the World Is Adopting TypeScript
In this episode we discuss compiler engineering, whether JavaScript will ever incorporate a native type system, and why TypeScript will never have zero configuration.

How do you design software docs and websites that both intrigue and educate? As a contributor to popular projects like React Native, Jest, Prettier, and TypeScript, Orta Therox has prioritized design for visual engagement, accessibility, and learning. In this episode of the Sourcegraph Podcast, Orta talks about the importance of engaging docs, how experimentation fuels learning and engineering in TypeScript, and how developers can write better code examples with Shiki Twoslash, a project he developed and designed. Along the way, Orta also shares his own story of getting into code and the odd way he was hired on Microsoft's TypeScript compiler team.Show notes & transcript: https://about.sourcegraph.com/podcast/orta-therox/Sourcegraph: https://about.sourcegraph.com
Listen to us chat with Orta Therox, creator and maintainer of a decades worth of open source tooling!
Orta Therox tells Jon Allured and Steve Hicks how he became a top contributor to open source software, and teaches them how to get better at things like design and pair programming.
In this episode, we talk more about Apple’s ongoing App Store drama, a proposal to let Chromium talk to your local network, and Gitee, the GitHub of China. We also speak with Nathan Shively-Sanders and Orta Therox, engineers on the TypeScript team, about the newest version of TypeScript, version 4.0.

Panel: Nader Dabit Sia Karamalegos Lucas Reis Special Guests: Orta Therox In this episode, the React Round Up panelists talk to Orta Therox about his 2 years of experience with React Native at Artsy. Orta has about 15 years of native Mac and iOS development experience and about 2 ½ years ago, his team decided to start writing their iOS app in React Native. They talk about the different popular blog posts about React Native, why his team decided to switch over to React Native, and the effects of team size on the success of the fit of React Native in each company’s app. They also touch on professional growth, how they have trained their employees, and more! In particular, we dive pretty deep on: Orta intro React Native and JavaScript React Native at Artsy blog post React Native at Airbnb blog post Suspense Web engineering Taking different approaches Being a better way to build an iOS app Adoption coming from a native perspective Does the size of the team matter? Product verticals How do you balance the need for professional development VS what’s needed at the moment?

Panel: Charles Max Wood Guest: Orta Therox This week on My JavaScript Story, Charles speaks with Orta Therox. Orta is a native engineer that believes that the right way to build systems is to understand as many systems as possible. He works predominately on iOS programming at a company called Artsy, where they make it easy to buy and sell art on the internet. He first got into programming because he loved playing video games as a child, loved creating his own video games, and worked his way up from there. They talk about his work at Artsy, how he used open source to learn himself how program, how he got into Ruby and then React and React Native, and more! In particular, we dive pretty deep on: JavaScript Jabber Episode 305 Orta intro Artsy iOS programming Hates lack of documentation CocoaPods Trouble with building native apps His move to React and React Native Used to run iOS team at Artsy How did you get into programming? Played video games as a kid Taught himself with books Using open source to learn Open source by default idea Loves giving back through blogging and open source How did you get into Ruby?

Panel: Charles Max Wood Aimee Knight Joe Eames AJ O'Neal Special Guests: Orta Therox In this episode, the JavaScript Jabber panelists talk about the tool Danger with Orta Therox. Danger allows you to create cultural rules about your pole request workflow. They discuss what Danger is, how it works, and how it can help you to catch errors and speed up code review. Danger lets you erase discussions so that you can focus on the things that you should really be focusing on, like the code. They also compare Danger to other ways of doing test converge. In particular, we dive pretty deep on: What is DangerJS? Think of it as being on the PR level Provides an eval context Used on larger projects React, React Native, Apollo, and RxJS Experimenting with moving Danger onto a server Danger can run as a linting step Pre-commit hooks Prettier How do you use Danger on your own machine? Danger Ruby vs Danger JS NPM install How is using Danger better that other ways of test coverage? What kinds of rules can you write for this system?
