Probably just means you are smart and good at testing at some level ;-)

For me the biggest benefit of TypeScript is probably when I debug or extend other peoples code (i.e. all the time) and I don't have to hunt down calling functions to see what gets passed in.

I mostly work on large projects written by other people over the course of years and often this simple thing can save me several minutes several times a day.

Yeah, that's definitely handy, or the ability to right click on something and click "Go to definition" to jump right to it. I'm not saying it's worthless, but all of the legwork to get that to work isn't worth it to me.

Just works out of the box with Angular 2 and above and for React "Create React Application" has you covered. I even thknk there's something for Vue.
