Hey everyone, I built this IRL game where you can challenge a small group of friends to anything that requires consistency. Ex) exercising, meditating, reading, studying, etc. You can define your own rules and everyone “checks in” with photo uploads to prove their progress. The catch is that everyone pays money into a pot to join. Then at the end, only the people who succeed at the challenge get to split the pot. This was purposefully done to ensure everyone has skin in the game, and keep the challenges maximally engaging. P.S. there’s also “roulette” mode, where your group will get a random challenge assigned.

Something I think various orgs I'm part of could benefit from is better management of processes for manual tasks. I wish we could develop a culture of using checklists, but I'm not sure how to make it sticky enough to get people to buy-in and believe-in.

Do any of your organizations utilize bonified checklists for things like, "we're about to deploy a release, what precisely do we do?" that are version controlled and in one way or another, actively worked through with initials/signatures/clicks and then stored somewhere for posterity?

Or more generally: have you had experiences with this flavour of not-so-heavy process management that you'd feel are worth sharing?

How would you evaluate a strong JS developer for a TypeScript position? What would convince you they can succeed in the role?

I'm a senior JavaScript developer looking for new opportunities, but many interesting positions require TypeScript experience.

While I'm confident in my ability to learn quickly, I understand the hesitation to hire someone without direct TS experience for a senior role.

For context, I see this as different from React <> Vue transitions, where skills are more clearly transferable.
