They are forcing people to write Typescript code like it’s Golang where I am right now (amongst other extremely stupid decisions - only unit test service boundaries, do not pull out logic into pure functions, do not write UI tests, etc.). I really must remember to ask organisations to show me their code before joining them.

(I realise this isn’t who is hiring, but email in bio)

I do this and think it works really well...

myfunc(arg: string): Value | Err

I really try not to throw anymore with typescript, I do error checking like in Go. When used with a Go backend, it makes context switching really easy...

They still throw and just have millions of try catch blocks repeated everywhere around almost every function :-/
