How to Win Colleagues and Influence Your Boss
summary
TSConf 2019 distills a concrete playbook: adopt TypeScript incrementally, measure impact and sustainability, and build a community to drive org-wide change. Claims: static typing reduces bugs, improves IDE UX, and can modestly improve performance; trade-offs: plumbing and noisy type errors. Concrete actions: create a TypeScript slack channel and meetup, prefer static typing across the studio UI org, use JSDoc or gradual migration instead of flipping strict mode day one. Key technique: reason about cardinality and avoid don't use any in practice.
