The past few days have been rough. I injured my back in a pretty mundane way, jumping to catch a ball. It just seized up. I could hardly straighten it and the next day it was so painful I could barely walk. I was worried that something was seriously wrong. After a trip to the ER I was given some muscle relaxers and though they helped manage the pain, they also made my extremely drowsy. I slept 14 hours the first day, 13 hours the next. Lots of rest, slow, careful movements, and stretching. I am feeling better now. It has been 24 hours since I had a muscle relaxer and the pain is manageable. For the first time I am not fighting off a persistent urge to sleep and feeling up to getting back to my usual pursuits.
Today at work I finally decided to give in and figure out why my TypeScript Server was crashing. I really missed the auto imports and api docs for methods. After trying a number of things I finally decided to take an analytical approach to the problem. I looked at what had changed recently in the repository and noticed we had added some new flow type files. I then noticed in the TS Server logs that it was trying to analyze the flow-typed directory in our repository. That seemed wrong, and indeed there was an import cycle in the new flow types that was causing the TS Server crash. After using our jsconfig.json to ignore the directory and reloading, all was well.
I hope to be back to normal tomorrow.
