This is the history of @DefinitelyTyped: https://blog.johnnyreilly.com/2019/10/definitely-typed-movie.html …
Thanks to @SeaRyanC & @drosenwasser of the @typescript team, @blakeembrey inventor of typings, @vvakame, @_stevefenton, @basarat, and of course @borisyankov for telling me their parts of the story
Fantastic story, would watch the movie adaptation. I was only vaguely aware of the situation at the time, other than "Why do I have to switch from tsd to typings?" and then "Why do I have to switch from typings to npm and @types?" but now I truly see.
