I can definitely relate to this post. (And don't get me started on those auto-generated SDKs in Typescript, eugh!)

I am far from an expert on type safety or JavaScript, so take this with a large grain of salt, but for anything I write for me, I like my simple JSDoc "typing" for that reason. It feels like any time I introduce TypeScript into anything I'm doing, I now have another problem. Or, more accurately, I spend more time worrying about types than I do writing code that does things that I find useful. And isn't the goal to save time and make development easier? If not, then what's the point?

I should clarify I am not a developer by trade or education and I am mostly doing things more closely related to systems programming/automation/serverless cloud things as opposed to what a lot of other people working with TS might be doing. So my perspective might be a bit warped :-)
