People who use TypeScript and VSCode (or Cursor) for small-to-medium sized codebases (~4k files, ~280k LOC): Does your editor ever get into a state where the problem count fluctuates wildly? One second everything is great, next thing it thinks I'm targeting netscape navigator and has 9999 problems

What would happen if we compensated infrastructure engineers like we paid a top trader, or a pro golfer? Purely based on performance and results: My company's CI pipeline is frustratingly slow. `git push origin master` to production rollout can routinely take 10 minutes. We deploy a lot, and that 10 min is a huge tax on productivity and velocity. What i'm "supposed" to do today: * Put up a job posting for an infra engineer * Sift through 100 profiles, interview 10, negotiate, close, start date, etc etc etc and * maybe in a few weeks/months, I found the right person and my CI pipeline is faster. What I want * Let's say mean build time is 600 seconds, and * Mean time to failed build is 480 seconds. I'll gladly pay someone $10 for every second of mean build time they can reduce, and $20 for every second of mean failed build time. So let's say you can get it down MBT=60s and MFBT=30s I'd gladly pay a talented contractor $14,400 to deliver those results ((600-60)*$10 + (480-30)*20). Probably more.
