I would put a link to the issue in the comment so folks don't see it as a "broken window" that ts-expect-error wtf is common practice. But yeah for a short-term thing like this it's reasonable.

If you want to be extra you could copy & paste the types into a .d.ts file? 🤷 probably not worth it imo

for the most part they just give you nice types: both for intellisense and if you type check your eslint config file

they also add a few niceties around extends. the eslint one does a little more now

could be a good docs issue, I can't find much on the websites

ESLint depends on sponsorships to pay maintainers. We're operating at a deficit with roughly a junior engineer's salary supporting a dozen maintainers plus awarding outside contributions. Please talk to your company about sponsoring ESLint:

I don't know what's happening with waffles or whatever but if this platform doesn't allow verified users to switch to spooky names for Halloween then it is a TRAVESTY 😤

Shaundai Person @shaundai.com · 5d

Nooo Bluesky says they will take away my verification if I change it 😭

I was _going_ to change it to either

Shaundai is a spooky Person
Or
Shaundai (Person) Zombie

Likely. If you can match the typical price of an event photographer, but also contribute to the number of technical people on the room, that's a slight advantage.

Can you differentiate on quality? How would you describe the advantages of an event photographer knowing the events subject matter?

Heh I was wondering about that... I'm a little hesitant to because of how directly it points a finger at ESLint core. The finger is technically correct to be pointed in that direction but it feels a little ... too point-y for us to make it so prominent?

Folks ask us in @typescript-eslint.io about typed linting perf optimizations often. There's a lot of work we *want* to do but can't - so we put our deep explainer in an issue.
