> making strict typing an advantage, not a chore

It's crazy that people think strict typing is a chore. Says a lot about our society.

I learned TS after a few years with JS. I thought having strict types was cool. Many of my colleagues with much more (JS) experience than me thought it was a hassle. Not sure if they meant the setup or TS or what but I always thought it was weird.
