I recently noticed how much code is spent simply producing an enormous amount of Zod schemas and unit tests around them. Yeah, I know someone will say that people don't read code anymore anyway. But I do. I still like code, and I still have doubts about the quality of coding agents, but that's another topic ;)

Long story short, I experimented with the TypeScript compiler and built a small playground showing how I imagine runtime types could work in TypeScript.

Hi all builders,

I've been building Nola for the last 3 months. Even slept a bit sometimes.

Finally released it a week ago and got 4 GitHub stars. Yooohooo

It was worth it. 4 f*king stars.

I'm living proof that sometimes we overcomplicate things. Start smaller, release sooner, and don't try to build everything at once.

But I keep going
