Here I am for three months trying to implement TypeScript in this project that was a dump when I picked it up.
And then some morons get assigned to the project and just start adding @ts-nocheck everywhere?
Like, WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?

And then you wonder why the project is bug-ridden??
FUCK THESE PEOPLE THAT CALL THEMSELVES JAVASCRIPT ENGINEERS!! NO WONDER JS GETS SUCH BAD PRESS WITH ALL THESE CLUELESS IDIOTS TO WHOM STATIC TYPING IS JUST AN OBSTACLE TO THEM CHURNING OUT LINE AFTER LINE OF "CODE"

    JS deserves to be judged by itself. I see more and more people starting to defend JS because of TS. And it triggers me.

    You wouldn’t defend C by saying that C++ exists, would you?

    If JS gets bad rep and is hated by people, it deserves it. And if you are actually using TS, then say it. Don’t call yourself a JS dev when you actually are using TS. And especially when you know what the point of TS is (because some devs actually don’t know, as they use ts-nocheck).

    @Lensflare Just don’t understand how these guys can call themselves engineers when they don’t even want to use tools that would help them "engineer" more reliable solutions.
    But ok I get your point about how one shouldn’t defend JS by invoking TS.

    I shall therefore join in the JS bashing while being a TS advocate 😀

    (I’m far from mastering TS but the knowledge I have so far has been so valuable in securing the code I write while giving me more confidence when refactoring code…)

    @black-kite yeah. Every time that someone says "JS is perfect. No one needs this extra stuff from TS", I wonder how they have survived as devs until now and what the fuck goes on in their heads.
