It really does change company. One day you’re firing from the hip tossing around untested code in to prod. The next you put on a suit, leather gloves, and a tie and push out the same code… just appended with the any type 😅
If not for typescripts I probably wouldn’t have continued with web dev. Coming from game dev in c++ I found JavaScript DX unbearably bad without type info.
Microsoft is killing it at developer ecosystem tooling. Almost every dev is using some Microsoft tech somewhere in their stack. IMO Satya is without compare as a professional (non-founder) CEO.

Now we’ve got them using a strongly typed language and grooming them to accept “compiling” their code.
Soon they’ll realize node is just single threaded JVM 😈
