    I must admit that I write that deliberately to annoy the “code quality is everything” brigade.

    I have no issues prioritizing maintainability where needed, but in my experience people that dogmatically prioritize code quality are not honest with themselves. They almost never chase code quality in general. They are always looking to enforce some burdensome standard or specific tool or archaic process or fiddly CICD script, and if you push back they go cry in a corner about the abstract virtue of “code quality”.

    Just be straight with me. You enjoy using type script. Tell me how it adds value to the product and the customer.

    Stop trying to shame me into it. I can’t be shamed. I have no shame. I’m a professional software engineer.

      You’re setting up a theoretically boogie man that no one said exists and then setup the extreme opposite point of view. You’re annoying the people that are actually sane. You’re being dogmatic in your one views and too extreme.
