Over the last little while, I’ve been working more actively with open-source projects, especially ones related to the TypeScript ecosystem. In my previous contributions, I focused on tools that are used behind the scenes by editors, like language servers (typescript-language-server), which help with things such as error reporting, code navigation, and auto completion. That experience pushed me outside my comfort zone, but it also helped me understand how large developer tools are structured and maintained.

For the past few weeks, my main goal in my open-source contributions was to work on tools that real TypeScript developers use every day, and to challenge myself with issues that were not just styling fixes. I picked two projects. One was typescript-eslint, which is a big set of ESLint rules that help keep TypeScript code safe and consistent. In that project I focused on the no-unsafe-* rules that try to stop the any type from quietly spreading through a codebase. My second project was publicodes/language-server, which is a VS Code extension that gives language server features like diagnostics, completion, hover and go to definition for the Publicodes language. Together these two contributions let me work on both static analysis rules and an actual language server.
