Problems with TypeScript

sounds like its working for you, so i'm glad. you're about what i'd consider a big team / codebase. i can't recommend TS to people trying to create product from nothing. if your startup is doing well, you can hire someone to annotate your code w/ types later ;)

My experience is the opposite. One of the best things about TS is yhe refactoring experience - change a function signature for example and TS will tell you all the places you need to update. In a fast moving greenfields project with various requirements in flux, I’ve found this invaluable

I agree on this too. Oftentimes, we'll change a type and then just follow the errors in VSCode. It's a pretty great way to track down all the codepaths that are affected really quickly.
