The thing I'm learning about TypeScript is that you can spend a lot of time with TypeScript.

But, I don't hate it. It does feel like it gives real payoffs. Just not nearly as "oh, it's just plain JS at the end, super easy to work with!" as people sometimes make it out to be.

Right now I'm refactoring the https://lib.reviews data access layer to be fully strongly typed, which should make stuff like "review.someAspect = someValue" or "someThing = thing.doSomeWork()" assignments a lot safer.
