> If you stood on the street corner and asked every passerby what they would change about their phone, I think you would be there all day before someone said "I wish I could replace the battery".

Are you sure about this? I've heard this complaint from a lot of non-tech people who are old enough to remember flip phones with replaceable batteries. It might be age related.

It’s an innate human desire to do everything in one’s power to save the person you love.

If you had a feeling you could do more, would you not try?

When you’re not personally involved, it’s easy to see that this might be misguided, but when living through it and experiencing daily fear of loss of your partner, it’s extremely difficult to think logically.

I have seen this multiple times and it’s always so unbearably sad.

Exactly how I feel about this. As a European living in the US this reads “American discovers sitting down with a cup of coffee instead of taking it outside”.

The problem is that if anything can be undefined, then you don't really have a big typing advantage over regular JavaScript.

It's just like being in Java land where typing adds a lot of boilerplate to the code, but you still have to do null checks everywhere.
