ah, that's the reason why I don't put TS on my resume, despite having worked with it for years on personal projects.

the number of 1000 LoC solutions for 100 LoC problems I saw in open source projects fills me with dread

I'm really glad Perl was my first programming language back in 2000 and not Java or C#. The transition to Clojure was so much easier for me, not having done time in an OO prison. React succeeded in bucking the trend of OOP JS frameworks established by Microsoft and Google's promotion of Angular so they simply set their sights on converting JS itself into yet another OO monstrosity. Now we have none other than M$ as the major steward of Typesript and VS Code. As Lennon said, "Strange days indeed".
