Why I Will Never Write Plain JavaScript Again

The "It slows me down" Argument

I hear this often. "I just want to prototype fast."
But you know what slows you down more? Debugging undefined is not a function in production.

Refactoring with Confidence

In a JS codebase, changing a function signature is a terrifying guessing game.
In TypeScript, the compiler tells you exactly what broke.

"If it compiles, it works" - mostly true.

Autocomplete is a Superpower

Not having to tab out to documentation to see available properties on an object is a massive time saver.

Invest the time to learn Generics and Utility types. It pays off 10x.
