"I could probably turn up to work drunk, and still code pretty good." -Matt Pocock. What a line! 😅

I don't think it can be overstated how important Satya Nadella's approach to the CEO role has been for Microsoft. Just a few more years of Ballmer and I believe MS would have been toast.

Can we all take a moment to appreciate that this documentary popped on a 12.4k (and I'm sure the count will climb fast) YT account, and not some official large tech co handle?
Well done !!

I might be wrong, but I can't beat this impression that I have just watched a 70+ min long film about TypeScript without a single mention of tsconfig. Correct me if I missed that. ;-)

As someone who made the switch from game dev to web dev. I really appreciate the work done by the typescript team and angular team. The switch was such a breeze.

That is sick! Keep up the good work. Thanks Microsoft for VSCode and Typescript!

I saw that conference in October 2012, and I've been using TypeScript since then. This was great to see. Thanks for making this documentary! 💖

I like this video a lot. The constant hand-gesturing present throughout the entirety of the video totally didn't mess with me at all. And my absolute favorite engineer ever, Shaundai, does an absolutely fantabulous job elucidating the ubiquitous nature of TypeScript in contemporary frameworks and necessity of a good ecosystem for a technology to thrive! Her portion was definitely my favorite in the whole video, 11/10!!

We all appreciate the efforts of the Typescript team

Thoroughly enjoyed this documentary, gave me great insights into the development of TypeScript and its grandiose effect on web development and the open source culture. One suggestion: When a novel concept is being talked about, be it structural typing, decorators, or Flow, would be cool to pair the interview with a visual depiction on the screen. Makes it easier to follow for those who don't know those things by heart.

Documentaries like these remind me that there is great man power behind the tools (we) developers use everyday. Much respect to Microsoft and those who helped build Typescript.

Great documentary. As a Golang developer, TypeScript solves problems I don't have in ways I don't like. But am happy that it exists, and DHH loves type gymnastics too, for obvious reasons.

Well done! It's cool to see and hear the people involved.

Wow, I love the interview format with well known people starting from 1:09:00. Well done 🚀🚀

This was more interesting to me than anything else.
Fantastic stories behind it all.
I love TS, and now I love TS twice as much as I did 80 minutes ago!!!
