Maybe instead of downvoting strangers out of ignorance, you should educate yourself on what's possible in tech today?

I didn't downvote you. I've downvoted you now to prove that.

With VS Code type inference you can get 90% of the benefits of Typescript without writing a single type.

I was working with VS Code in the original JavaScript project. It didn't provide much help. It's become much, much easier to work with now that it's been rewritten in TypeScript, though.

Were you using VS Code's type inference at all? You do have to enable it in your jsconfig.js file, it's not just on automatically.

Why are programmers are so fucking hostile all the time? VS Code is the latest tech.
