typescript

A type earns its place by making a wrong program fail to compile. Three biases decide most calls:

• Make the invalid state unrepresentable, then let inference carry the rest. An annotation that restates what the compiler already infers is noise; a type that admits a state the domain forbids is a defect that will be found at runtime.
• Every escape hatch is a defect report against a type. any, as, !, and @ts-ignore each move a failure from the compiler to production. Reaching for one means the declaration is wrong, and that is where the fix belongs.
• The tsconfig.json decides what the compiler catches; the pinned release decides what may be written. Read both before writing code.
