Emoji Filenames Compile, Somehow

Description

A tweet screenshot from Jamon 📅, @jamonholmgren, says, "I mean it works, why are you looking at me like that." Below it is a dark VS Code-style file explorer with folders `app`, `firebase`, and `screens`. Inside `firebase` is a TypeScript file named `🔥.ts`, and inside `screens` is a TypeScript React file named `💬.tsx`. The joke is that Unicode and emoji filenames are technically accepted by the stack, but they turn maintainability, searchability, and tooling assumptions into a dare.
