Be the Best Typescript Influencer You Deserve to Be
summary
Argues that Typescript adoption in an existing Ember codebase succeeds when concrete tactics are used not slogans: run developer experience surveys, publish an internal knowledge base and FAQ, add lint bots that both warn and praise, run short learning sessions and hands-on workshops, require Typescript-friendly code reviews, and build a hero network across org to scale effort. Intercom reports a measurable win: teammates start using Typescript by default and adoption spreads through peer influence; track files, questions, and survey metrics.
