I generally try to stay at least a stick’s length away from front-end development since everything it touches turns to cancer. So it was today that I learned that TypeScript doesn’t even support ignoring a specific error. You know, the feature that’s been standard for the past ~30 years in every sensible compiler and linter.

Reason given by Microsoft? “Error codes do not add to expressiveness in a position like such.” I’m sure ignoring everything to silence an unknown error is much more expressive.
