I posted last night that my port to TypeScript worked first time, first compile. It was a fairly major reworking and I was literally lying awake at 3 in the morning wondering what I'd screwed up that caused it to work
(brief pause while I reflect on the absurdity of that sentence and our developer lives in general)
It turns out I'd still been referencing the old code, not the new code, in one crucial component. Fixed this and the whole house of cards came crashing down in a fiery J.J. Abrams Michael Bay style ball of flame.
I'm so relieved.
cheers

I just got this meme in my Facebook timeline today, and it looks like I'm not the only one who can recognize the situation:

I think you mean Michael Bay.
JJ Abrams is the constant lens flare guy.

Ah, that's right!

So he was calling lens flare when he should have been calling explosion?
That explains the errors.

You should have copied and pasted dandy72's correction. He spelt Michael Bay correctly, you didn't.

I am guessing there were no UnitTests for the old javascript code that should have worked almost unchanged for the converted Typescript code?
Or the UnitTests worked because they ran the old code?

Oh you crazy kids and your crazy ideas about "unit tests" and "testing before you deploy".

That one time where I got contrived indexed string operations right off the bat, I screamed in joy. The couple co-workers looking at me strangely applauded when told what's going on.
