Oh look, #Microsoft made #TypeScript 10x faster! Now you can watch your #bugs break your code at warp speed instead of just plain fast! Meanwhile, the article reads like an over-caffeinated intern accidentally copy-pasted the internet into a blog post.

Fence was too wobbly there, so I had to find a (slightly bent but perfectly adequate) post in the scrap steel pile and then it wouldn't go in until I ground a sharp edge to it and found a mallet I could barely lift to pound it in with.
