What people say. Shared as a convincing argument for using JSDoc with TypeScript to avoid compilation steps.

…er, there are a couple of points I want to clarify: 1. I hadn't used TypeScript extensively before, except for my personal projects. 2. I don't use JSDOC + TS in strict mode. 3. Due to our architecture, we have minimal interaction with each other's code. I follow Primagean on YouTube, and the following clip convinced me to stay with JSDOC + TS [video However, I'm not sure if I understand why compilation steps become more difficult over time. I want to stay open-minded, and not just accept a few developers' opinions. Could you share your experience with TypeScript development compared to using JSDoc + TypeScript? In what scenarios does JSDoc or Typescript fall short?…
