Have you considered using TypeScript but can’t bring yourself to take the plunge? Are you worried that the cost will outweigh the benefits? As someone who has gone all in on TypeScript I’ll detail my journey from TypeScript skeptic to TypeScript fanboy using examples from real world usage at NPR. Tommy O'Keefe is a full stack developer at NPR, formerly a full stack developer at Atlantic Media Strategies, the digital consultancy of The Atlantic magazine. Currently he is writing a lot of TypeScript for voice platforms like Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. Tommy thinks of himself as a “life long learner” and is always looking for connections between the world of technology and other fields of study. When he isn’t writing code, he can often be found hanging out with his family, riding his bicycle, or reading a book and drinking good coffee.
