TypeScript shines when you model your domain explicitly. Good types act as living documentation and prevent entire classes of bugs.
Avoid the any Type
Using any defeats the purpose of TypeScript. Instead, use unknown, generics, or proper interfaces to keep your code type-safe.
- Prefer interfaces or type aliases over any
- Use strict mode in tsconfig
- Leverage generics for reusable utilities
- Validate external data at runtime
Types are not overhead — they are leverage.
