64: Chris Toomey on TypeScript, GraphQL, and Product Thinking

This week we sit down with Chris Toomey and address all the holy wars: Elm vs React, TypeScript vs JavaScript, product vs development, and even VS Code vs Vim.

This is a pragmatic look at how type systems can improve the way you build and talk about product. In the right hands — these tools can make teamwork a dream. But in the wrong hands, well... Let's just listen close and make sure your hands are the right ones.
