unfortunately this is not the most common practice. I've worked on rust codebases with 10K+ warning. and rust was supposed to help you.

It is also close to impossible run any node ecosystem without getting a wall of warnings.

You are an extreme outlier for putting in the work to fix all warnings

Haven't found that myself, are you talking about TypeScript warnings perhaps? Because I'm mostly using just JavaScript and try to steer clear of TypeScript projects, and AFAIK, JavaScript the language nor runtimes don't really have warnings, except for deprecations, are those the ones you're talking about?

`cargo clippy` is also very happy with my code. I agree and I think it's kind of a tragedy, I think for production work warnings are very important. Certainly, even if you have a large number of warnings and `clippy` issues, that number ideally should go down over time, rather than up.
