I find myself just taking photos of documents for submitting forms, rather than scanning. Scanning still feels more 'official' (a PDF instead of a JPG) but the sheer convenience of using a phone wins every time. I've rarely seen organisations complain about photos.

I'm surprised there aren't more interpreted languages with a first party type checker. Python has several good type checkers, Ruby has Sorbet, and there are others. Having zero compilation time *and* a full IDE seems like such a compelling design, at least on paper.

I periodically see "diffstatic" as a typo of difftastic. I quite like it: makes me think of 'ecstatic' rather than 'fantastic'. I've eventually configured typos CLI to prevent this spelling on the difftastic repo, but it makes me smile every time.
