    or people used to work alone never having to go back to their code (e. g. bad consultancy jobs)

      Even alone I find it indespensible. I find it’s mainly useful for writing code correctly the first time around.

        Some people think better with typing information explicitly written out. Some people don’t. In my opinion it is a creativity thing. Some people like to make art that is photo realistic, some people like to make abstract art.

        I understand both viewpoints. In my free time I vastly prefer late bound, dynamically types languages with robust reflection engineers built into their interpreters. For work, I heavily prefer late bound, strictly typed with reflection optional or minimal.

        Different people think differently.

      TS is amazingly powerful when it comes to refactoring. I swear it practically writes itself. Half the time by the time I fix all the compiler errors the refactoring is done. I barely need to think about it which means I can spend more time thinking about the best architecture. When people say they don’t see how TS makes you more productive it just makes me think they never refactor their code.
