I’m not sure sure specifically which type of perks you’re referring to, but I’ve become increasingly cynical of a big chunk of perks offered tech companies. It seems a majority of them are there to keep you at the office longer and make you more dependent on the company. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, coffee, gym, ping pong table, snacks...

It’s fun and all, but I’d prefer more vacation time over a ping pong table and free dinner.

That's true, but typings exist for most of the common packages:

  npm i express @types/express
It usually "just works", but it really depends on how obscure the packages you're using are.
