Daniel Rosenwasser explains that the TypeScript team's decision-making is heavily driven by empathy for developers. This involves understanding the challenges developers face and striving to improve their daily experience with the tools.
“Well, it's interesting, right? You have developers who day-to-day use these tools. And the better you are with those tools, the more effective you are at the things you create with them.”
“there's a lot of empathy that kind of drives the decision making, right? You know what it is that you are seeking as a developer. You hit all of those rough edges. You understand what other people are trying to accomplish.”
“It's not just about, you know, we're building this for other people. It's like we're building this for ourselves and for our friends who are also developers.”
