I generally like Typescript, and prefer coding in it over vanilla JS. But I *loath* configuring/packaging/deploying Typescript projects with the intensity of a thousand suns. Why is EVERYTHING in this ecosystem so messy?

Today's annoyance: I need a simple server. I'm gonna use node, so it's Typescript on the server and the client. It shouldn't be hard to set up a single repo that contains both. Right? RIGHT???
