Awesome!

Huh? The IDE checks your types as you type. Not on every build.
This works great and de-duplicates effort. I have an extra "check" script that runs all the linters including the Typescript checker that you can run before making a PR or production build (tells you the same thing as the IDE). I'm glad it doesn't block my development build because it takes many seconds (10-20) while without it you can get updates in far below one. That's a night and day difference.

You're misinformed about what I want. I want fast builds. Decoupling linting from building is a great way to achieve that. I am yet to experience any problems with it.
If you want to type check on every build you can put that into your pipeline, but it will unnecessarily slow things down. I for one am very happy with fast builds with no downside.
