I mean, these days though, I rarely have "compile errors". Meaning in-editor compiling is so good that any "red squigglies" get immediately fixed. Writing TypeScript in VSCode I can barely remember last time my actual compile step failed.

Well, that's basically because these days the editor often runs the same compiler, just without codegen instead of having a completely separate syntax checker that may or may not highlight the same issues.
