> I spend more time tweaking types than I do writing library code. This was basically me in a TypeScript React project, except that instead of being able to quickly iterate, instead I had to spend bunches of time messing around with types. Of course, you could also say the exact same thing about using Java vs something like Python (though it has type hints available, of course; not that all codebases take advantage of it) and then have a discussion about what you think about strict type systems and where (front end/back end/DB) they're useful to have and in what capacity. I guess it's one of those topics where thoughts differ, much like how some people might place a lot of emphasis on unit tests instead of integration tests, or even just (primarily) test the back end instead of bothering with front end tests, due to how much harder they can be to write, depending on the codebase.
