You just described my life. JS is hell.
You guys are using typescript right? .... right?
Yes. However, The same cannot be said for every other dev on the project.
Typescript helps a lot but JS still lacks a lot of the functionality, and especially the tooling, available in other frameworks.
Going from ASP.Net Core to NestJS is like digging holes with a shovel instead of a backhoe. It feels like a huge downgrade. And then half your time is spent dealing with the incredibly finicky dev environment.
I am not impressed.
Interesting! I have built several projects entirely in TS or with react/next frontends and I enjoy the DX a lot now that I have the experience with the overwhelming breadth of options out there.
