I don't follow, stamping every function with
: anylets you merge the branch and deploy it... trying to properly type everything extends the initial migration time likely to a level where management just says no.I disagree that you're worse off (the core of my comment was that even a shitty migration encourages better practices)... but I wasn't super familiar with TS hinting - using ts-ignore would be preferable.
Personally, I mostly work in PHP and we use a similar system. Strict typing is default off so we've slowly propagated
declare(strict_types=1);to enable compile and runtime checking on a per file basis.
