Hard disagree. At FAANG companies, working on problems that "don't matter" is exactly how you get a "Meets Some" or worse at your next perf review. These companies are obsessed with measurable impact - you need to show clear business value, user metrics, or revenue impact. Spend 6 months grinding on irrelevant work and you'll be on a PIP in a blink of an eye

Seeing Primeagen featured on homepage is concerning - a financial database requiring absolute reliability doesn't align with someone whose brand is built on chaos and controversy.

While `rewriteRelativeImportExtensions` works for frontend applications, it has a significant limitation: it doesn't fix declaration files (.d.ts), which is problematic when developing libraries or public packages.

I created a small tool to address ESM + TypeScript issues that the tsc doesn't handle: https://github.com/2BAD/tsfix
