  I might be wrong, but I can't beat this impression that I have just watched a 70+ min long film about TypeScript without a single mention of tsconfig. Correct me if I missed that. ;-)

  I honestly don't think I could get over the enormous hump of transitioning to a software developer if it were not for ts and vs code.

  Documentaries like these remind me that there is great man power behind the tools (we) developers use everyday. Much respect to Microsoft and those who helped build Typescript.

  Can we all take a moment to appreciate that this documentary popped on a 12.4k (and I&apos;m sure the count will climb fast) YT account, and not some official large tech co handle? <br>Well done !!

  I like how dog food has become a verb as in &quot;We don&apos;t just dog food our own language but we also dog food our own develoment environment.&quot; at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6s2pdxebSo&amp;t=937">15:37</a> and this is understood to mean using your own product. Future etymologists will be amused.

  Great documentary. As a Golang developer, TypeScript solves problems I don&apos;t have in ways I don&apos;t like. But am happy that it exists, and DHH loves type gymnastics too, for obvious reasons.
