My biggest technical mistakes (so far)

Read Original

The article details a developer's retrospective on two significant technical errors from their career. The first was choosing Facebook's Flow for type safety over TypeScript in 2016, a decision driven by tooling compatibility and performance that later proved flawed as TypeScript dominated the ecosystem. The second mistake involved the challenges of working within a sprawling, multi-language monorepo. The author shares the consequences and key lessons for making better technology choices and planning for migration.
