 #### Optimizing TypeScript 
 
-Kibana and X-Pack are very large TypeScript projects, and it comes at a cost. Editor responsiveness is not great, and the CLI type check for X-Pack takes about a minute. To get faster feedback, we create a smaller APM TypeScript project that only type checks the APM project and the files it uses. This optimization consists of creating a `tsconfig.json` in APM that includes the Kibana/X-Pack typings, and editing the Kibana/X-Pack configurations to not include any files, or removing the configurations altogether. The script configures git to ignore any changes in these files, and has an undo script as well.
