... nice-to-have. Product Design is the number one skill, and Figma outranks Python. The modern solo builder is expected to make it look good, not just make it work. Second, TypeScript is nearly caught up with JavaScript (49 vs 52) and growing faster in project tags. If you're picking one to invest in deeply, the trend line points clearly at TS. The full picture: JavaScript + TypeScript + React + Next.js + Figma + a Postgres backend. That's the default ... ... SaaS is 47% of all product types, with mobile apps at 21%.

... whether we could prove a Paddle subscription survives webhooks arriving in any order. We built it, and then went deeper, to the failure devs actually fear: a paused customer silently getting their access back. We fire every delivery ordering (plus duplicates) at your handler, prove whether a stale event can re-entitle a canceled/paused subscription, and reduce the failure to the two events that cause it, e.g. "deliver paused, then a stale activated." Not "send a webhook." Reproduce the ugly ... ... delivery conditions that break production billing. Receipts that read like a doctor's note: symptom, cause, fix, outcome, plus
