Those have been my thoughts exactly, except I might need to buckle down and use Typescript because the devs at work favor it. I don't want to hate coding in Typescript, which is why I posted this Ask HN. I still wouldn't use it on any projects where I have full control. But, if I need to use it, I might as well try to see the bright side of it. On the other hand, all this "safety" that Typescript imparts just gets in the way of productivity. It's a language to show off to your boss, not to get shit done.
