Wow, I thought I was the only one not enjoying the experience of Typescript. I started developing a product in React 5 months ago. Back then typescript really felt like the right thing for a newbie because it helped me avoid tons of minor errors. But overtime as I became better at JS as a whole, i started getting frustrated with typing definitions of every variable and eventually (in order to meet my delivery date) I even started completely skipping type checks by filling in "any" as the type.
Soon after I started to wonder what is the point of typescript if I'm barely even using it at this point. I thought I was just following bad programming practices. But after reading this post & comments I'm convinced typescript is not at all a necessity for every damn project.

Many Javascript folks tend to lean too deep into Typedefs when they only need to write functions that tell input and output types.
Doing that allows intellisense for every function.
Could you help me out with some examples?
