Also good to increase time to market and make you think more about types, less about business logic. It has both pros and cons depending on what you are doing.

I have learned and can read and write typescript, but it doesn’t click when it comes to “we’ll need it tomorrow to check our ideas fast”, the usual mode of startup operation. These stories about night and day difference also do not match my reality. All my code paths are either hot or tested. How many type-related bugs have I encountered last year? Maybe a few, but can’t remember even a single one. Maybe I’ll gradually type it after we go into maintenance mode, maybe leave it as an exercise to a maintainer if they see fit. My last few projects were successful and brought solid revenue without any type-related issues.

- sanitycheck 4y agoI've seen it add days of pull request code golfing whenever someone makes some new types, but those people would find other ways to waste time on pure JS projects.
