hack night v0.151 - Wynwood - Effect Edition

where miami builds cool shit.

🆕 this week: effect TS edition (w/ Effect Miami)

we're teaming up with the Effect Miami crew to intro Effect: the toolkit for building robust, production-grade apps in TypeScript.

what is it: think of it as the "missing standard library" for TypeScript. it gives you type-safe error handling, retries, concurrency, and built-in tracing so the gnarly parts of real-world apps stop being haphazard.

why you'll care: fewer one-off dependencies, way less try/catch spaghetti, and if it compiles, it works. you can adopt it incrementally. No need to know functional programming to start.

show up ready (5 min prep):

🚀 quickstart → effect.website/docs/quickstart

📚 docs → effect.website/docs

💬 discord → discord.gg/effect-ts

bring a project (or an idea) and we'll build with it live.

What happens at hack nights

plus, someone from the community does a lightning demo (5-10 mins) to share what they've been building and get feedback.
