I was surprised that every Jest+TypeScript guide says to use ts-jest. I already have my IDE, the TypeScript watcher, and ESLint parsing/compiling all the code! I don't want to add fourth one :-P

I ended up just pointing Jest at my build output folder and that works. There are a couple minor annoyances but whatever.

(I actually started with Ava because it more directly supports using the existing build output, but I ran into another issue and had to switch back to Jest: https://github.com/avajs/ava/issues/2385)
