It's weird to me how scanning the comments all seem to refer to systems with 100k-ish LoC and dozens of contributors.
A big chunk of my job is writing node microservices in AWS Lambda. I do everything I can to avoid shared library code, since past experience tells me there be lots of dragons (mainly in when and how to push or pull lib updates to components). I have a very tiny shared lib that I try to never touch and definitely never introduce breaking changes.
Unit tests are a breeze since I never have to cast objects or worry about generics, etc.
Typescript would slow me down so much and add absolutely no benefit. Maybe I'm misinterpreting though and no one is claiming Typescript would benefit here.
We also have some C# lamdbas and I find writing unit tests for those so much more of a pain - since the shared libs have generics and I'm always casting things. But admittedly I don't know all the tricks.
