Of course the ideal is to create a big project with best practices from the beginning. I think the post is about a time that didn't happen, and how TS was the shortest path to a more robust codebase. Not that it's a holy grail, but that it helps make sense out of spaghetti.
Yeah exactly! The goal was: clean up the code and create best practices at least this is what I get from that post!
My argument was: As far as I can see for the reasons mentioned here in the post is not fully typescript but also eslint and the most important thing: the team! The team now has a better base to do great work! They are now more experienced and know their domain better! I can guarantee if they would rewrite it in plain javascript with eslint they would be as good as they are now with typescript. The only thing they have no bigger job security because 2 3 years from now we as a community will agree that typescript is not the thing we needed. Like it happened before with CoffeeScript and flow.
But maybe I'm completely wrong.
