Pay Attention to Compiler Performance
Overview
TypeScript compilation can become slow in large projects. Monitor and optimize compiler performance using techniques like project references, proper tsconfig settings, and avoiding expensive type patterns. Fast compilation improves developer experience.
When to Use This Skill
- Build times are slow
- Optimizing TypeScript projects
- Configuring project references
- Working with large codebases
- Improving IDE responsiveness
The Iron Rule
Monitor and optimize TypeScript performance. Use project references, avoid expensive type patterns, and keep compilation fast.
