In my defense, the backend contracts change so often in early development the any just made sense at first…
Refactorings and changes are the prime reason to use TypeScript. You edit your data objects and get squigglies everywhere shit won’t work anymore. A godsend!
One job I worked at wouldn’t let us do this because it created too large of a QA impact (lol). We were only allowed to modify code in the smallest section possible so that testing could be isolated and go faster.
At another job they mandated that TypeScript wasn’t allowed because it “slowed down development”. It was soooo laughable. The number of bugs introduced that could have been readily caught was absurd, but management never put the two pieces together.
