So... the ancient childish attempt to prove mathematics using mathematics (Gödel's Incompleteness slew the challenger) can be used to help me be a better TypeScript programmer? I learned something new today.
Yikes, guys/girls. I got downvoted to -4 points for a misunderstanding or something. Because the author of the website would probably agree with my simple point that although the Principia Mathematica tried to do the impossible, there is still utility for its value as a programming self-teaching resource for serious students of computer science.
Wow. Yeah. You guys ironically didn't just throw out the baby with the bath water thing. You burned me at the stake like a witch for heresy. Due to your cognitive biases and distortions.
You guys are Imperium of Mankind coded or something?

I think you should try to get a better sense of proportion.
Also:

I don't know what your original intention actually was, but your comment read to me very much as (1) implying that the OP was claiming that PM is useful for making people into better Typescript programmers (which OP very much does not claim) and (2) making fun of the OP for making such a claim while (3) calling the enterprise of which PM was a part "childish".
All of which seems to me like rather the sort of thing that does deserve downvoting to -4, though for what it's worth I didn't downvote you.
People don't do digital notebooks and have automation archive, index, and categorize their old thoughts? And, now, with large language models, automation can even infer latent consequences from what you scribbled. Digitally, of course. Unless you plan on having optical character recognition processing in the pipeline.
Your joke overestimates the intelligence of real life humans.
