Disagree on ESLint vs Typescript. ESLint and TyepScripts jobs should have minimal overlap.

ESLint primary job is linting. It should be finding 'foot guns' and code style issues. Things that are absolutely valid in the language, but could lead to potential issues. Because of that, it's totally valid that you're not finding as much value in it. It depends on the rules you enable in it, etc. And yeah, it can feel super nitpicky when it's yelling at you for not having a radix in parseInt().

Typescript's 'compile' step or whatever, it doing type checking and making sure your code is valid. If you're using bare JS, your IDE should be doing this job, not eslint.

(but yes, anything more than a few minutes to lint even a large code base is insane.)
