While I'm an C++ refugee, most of the "clever" TS stuff I write is due to JS framework idioms creating duplicate work(redux-reducer typings...) or forcing 'any' escape doors to the degree TS use doesn't help. Doesn't mean I'm "above" using any escape hatches where appropriate though or keeping things "dumb" (most of my TS code is fairly monomorphic).

After coding it with it daily for the past year I can think of very few times I've had to write "clever" TypeScript. And half of those are now solved with TypeScript's new `satisfies` operator :P

The only consistently annoying thing about it is how dumb it plays with JavaScript's built in array methods but it still is sufficiently smart 80% of the time (and the other 15% a simple `as const` does the trick)
