No. A massive majority of the prices of things in the US are distorted by the government or the Federal Reserve. Agriculture is propped up by the government, the prices of healthcare are distorted by capitalist interests, landlords have benefited from lax government oversight, the railway workers strike was made illegal by Biden.
The list goes on and the prices are a reflection of these distortions. To say prices reflect reality is to be delusional to the political situation.
negative. I use tsc as a safety net, I don't release code that doesn't pass ci/cd which includes a linting/typechecking step. I just know that sometimes it's faster/easier to do an exploration without strict typechecking.
ah, I do TDD. easier to let tests give me runtime and behavioral feedback instead of refreshing/setting up hot reloads. I could see how it's frustrating without that. super frustrating to do a quick experiment/demo and satisfy ts if the compiler breaks all the time tho.

and someone else pointed out that esbuild drops typechecking.
