Yes, and he is running for office on an anti-immigration platform, so I'd take anything he posts with a heap of salt.

That seems pretty clear to me—many people were using it at one point, but now few are, so it's not worth maintaining.

Between this and node adding the --experimental-strip-types option which would otherwise allow people to skip compilation, I'm not sure I would choose Typia right now. I'm sure it's a great library, but these don't bode well for its future.

This is a workflow I’ve never seen on any team or project I’ve worked on. Another commenter already mentioned the remote branch for everything preference, but usage of tags is especially interesting to me. I think that’s how most people use branches, and tags tend to be more permanent. What do you do when you come back to the commit with the tag, cherry pick it over and delete the tag? It sounds like an overly complicated process compared to having a branch and rebasing onto the current branch when you finally go to make the change for real.
