Yeah but - it’s nice to be able to do that. Like what you’re describing -
> . I cringe when I see people say stuff like "Typescript forces you to think about types!", in practice it's the complete opposite … make changes without actually reading any of the code first. Zero idea what variable is defined where or what it holds, nah fuck that, just jump to line 148 and hover over a couple of things to try and pick up the thread from there, she'll be right.
Why should you need to do anything else than that? If TS enables better hinting, and you can just make a change without having to sit down and digest and entire codebase first, then why not enjoy taking advantage of that? How is that not desirable? Why make things more complicated for yourself than they need to be, when you can let your tools do that work for you?
