I believe in "Pay your dues". Firmly. In an interview, you shouldn't argue on JSDocs vs Typescript. Your job is to determine if this is a good team/company for you to work with and you are getting the money/benefits that you are ok with. That's it.

Get the job first if the basics check out. Then "pay your dues". Show that you are a good team member who is not just complaining but actually getting things done with the resources given. You may be right in your argument but make that point once you have the trust of the team. Not before that.

Also, there is a reason why things are done in a certain way at a certain company/team. It may not be perfect or ideal but you need to first understand the background/why. Then if you feel that you have a case to make, make it.

But first, Pay your dues.
