TypeScript has totally changed the way I treat software development and I want to encourage others to give some kind of typed JavaScript a try. While my talk will largely focus on TypeScript (since it is the flavor I am most familiar with), I want to focus largely on the general benefits of type systems and the dev tools that are being built around them.

How TypeScript Ruined My Life (In a Good Way)

See why typed JavaScript, especially in large code-bases, is worth the added effort.

Some tools are so useful that once you've used them in one project, it is hard to work on other projects without them. 

React was certainly that way for me when I first started, and now TypeScript has become the same way. 

This talk will cover why typed JavaScript, especially in large codebases, is worth the added effort. 

I will discuss my personal experiences - the good, the bad, and the ugly - and talk about why I can't seem to start a project without `npm install typescript`.
