@Steve8708 people are lazy to spend a minute writing types now, only to end up wasting hours, cause no autocomplete and dumb mistakes…

@Steve8708 Anything and absolutely anything can break in JS even with full understanding of the code base

@Steve8708 Half of takes like this was due to poor tooling I reckon

@Steve8708 TypeScript can feel like more work until the mental model shift clicks, and then you let TypeScript work for you.
That either hasn’t happened for them yet, or they’re engagement farming (or both).

@Steve8708 I would say it's simply a skill issue. I had trouble initially getting used to the .ts workflow, but these days i don't want to work on a project without it.
Type safety is like a warm blanket for my imposter syndrome.

@Steve8708 It's not just typescript, it's Vscode, the plug-ins linters and a whole ecosystem that works for you.

@Steve8708 Typescript has saved me hours. I never liked JS in the first place.

@Steve8708 I really don't understand how people write stuff blindly and without autocomplete. Even I use JS, I type with JSDoc so that I can see possible properties.

@Steve8708 I never used to understand it. Then I started looking at the code of the people who make this claim. Good code is really easy to use TS with. Bad code is really hard.

@Steve8708 That person is probably not using an ide or language server so no code completion or suggestions for anything. Then it just becomes more typing for them.

@Steve8708 JSDocs are great for replacing TS, also it is always personal taste.

@Steve8708 Yes me too, the error messages help a lot. Even for small scripts I use it, the auto-completion alone is invaluable. 👍

@Steve8708 @isashikoneko I would understand the rant if tools like Vite didn't exist.

@Steve8708 When I’m working with a small team who’ve been around since the ajax days, we’re not using TS. If it’s a big project or boot camp grads, I’m using TS. There’s a time & place 4 everything. Stop the cult toxicity

@Steve8708 i firmly believe it's because of bad mental accounting of time.
when it took an hour and it's "done, but oh shit there's a weird little issue lemme just fix that real quick", then "oh hmm what caused that??" -- we don't mentally account for that under total time to done

@Steve8708 This should be default in tsconfig
noImplicitAny: false
That way types can truly be opt in, and js devs would have actually no reason to go back

@Steve8708 I'm convinced this has to do with whether you know how and when to use the type strictness.
Like...you can just use "any" if you feel that being more specific than that is slowing you down.
I'll say this: badly written TypeScript is worse than badly written JavaScript.

@Steve8708 I think ts makes the code easier to follow for me if the typing isn’t overdone

@Steve8708te - it’s purely a mindset thing. JS doesn’t enforce types, etc. so depending on the nature of a project, the platforms your building in, etc. it’s one less thing to think about and can feel like a lack of productivity when your dealing with conformity vs just logic alone.
