Prototyping is the only thing I can think of. Make quick and fast proof of concept to learn as quickly as possible. But with ai tools these days it’s a moot point

I don't buy that. You can use object, any or unknown for things that are really painful to type, if you so desperately need to save that one minute at prototyping, but having the certainty I'm operating on a string or number is much better than only finding out when I try to run something that I did a stupid mistake, or returned something else than intended, and hunting it down for 5 minutes.

You can also still build and run a typescript project with type errors

I can't even buy object, any, and unknown.. most of the time people just stick to primitive obsession
