Typescript, vscode, npm, github and more

They also added a “Sponsor” button to Github which while I have mixed feelings about it, does help open source projects thrive.

TypeScript, NPM - doubling down on crappy language and rotten foundations. You could argue that at least they are helping to manage the damage to the industry.

VSCode - misspending money to prove JS can be used to build native apps? We did not say you "could not", we said you "should not".

GitHub - they just bought that, thanks for not ruining it I guess.

Github, NPM have all the signs of EEE. For Github they already gave the misery of PAT and TOTP. Corporate hoops planned for NPM as well. Especially sad, as NPM is/was the best package/dependency management system ever created.

TypeScript and VScode are there of course to make all programming as horrible as it's on Windows.
