Forking Node so you can have true, false, and now maybe. What does maybe do? It's for when you're not sure. foo == maybe always returns maybe. foo != maybe also equals maybe. It's the #2 most 👍 feature request on ECMAScript. Only works on BastaNode tho

In Bun
const Beep = <div {boop} />
Transpiles the same as
const Beep = <div boop={boop} />

Perhaps the reason some industries desperately need this engineering talent is because they're offering dogshit jobs in broken organizations. Sadly, taking those roles to make an ads VP satisfied doesn't pay the bills.

How about get investors to stop throwing money at companies that you personally don't care about which pay better than Southwest and don't make you wear a suit to work or whatever

Tech nerds: let's build things that let you trade monkeys in the metaverse, bc we hate actually interacting with the world, while execs howl into the wind about nebulously 'working harder' but can't even express 'why'
Meanwhile, IRL, actual industries need you. Time to grow up.. twitter.com/sweatystartup/…
