July 2023 SFNode Meetup

SFNode is a community meetup. At every meetup, we try to have a mix of beginner and advanced talks.

We are thrilled to have Quizlet help us sponsor the event this time. If you want to host or want to speak, please create an issue on the SFNode Github: https://github.com/sfnode/sfnode.

We are looking for all types of speakers: ones that have done it before and first-timers! Send us a message and we are happy to help prepare for a talk.

8:00pm - Open Mic and Social Time

Talk abstract
Millions of developers rely on TypeScript to compile their code every day, but how many understand how it works under the hood? To most of us, it doesn’t matter, as long as it works as expected. I, too, didn’t care - until I needed to!

Join me as I recount my journey building “TypeScript Explorer,” a VSCode extension enabling deep type introspection in TypeScript projects. We’ll explore massive internal compiler files, dive head-first into recursion hell, and find creative ways to exploit unexposed APIs. Make it out unscathed, and you’ll learn how to tightly integrate with TypeScript’s complex type system in your own projects!

Open mic
Open mic time gives attendees 2-3 minutes of time to talk to the entire group. This is the time to debut a new project, announce upcoming events or let people know they're hiring.
