Yaser,

Just because something doesn't affect the user now, doesn't mean it won't affect it later or cause another, seemingly unrelated error.

“It only took me a minute on your site to find that, what else do you suppose is lurking in there that could've easily been caught pre-runtime?”

Hahahahahahaha hahahaha hahaha 😂 these fools with their “TypeScript is not helpful” crap. 💩I can just imagine how hard it would be to understand their codebase.

...undefined objects during runtime aren't necessarily going to be caught by your static type checker. if the api changes and leaves out that key object, what good did your type system do?
