> If you're fighting typescript that much, then what's the point? Agreed - I find these "wrangling" situations to be uncommon, and roughly half of the time they happen because our code is bad and we need to change it. The other half - well, sure, it can be a pain in the ass, but there's no such thing as code so elegant that it never has some irritating high-effort corner cases. I'll take deterministic type wrangling over raw untyped JS.
