Thanks, I vaguely remember type guards ... such a complex beast, Typescript, I've done one toy project with it, and yes you can produce some pretty elegant code if you put in the necessary effort, but it really requires an investment ... I'm still baffled that we have JS and then we put a typed language on top of it which is 5 times more complex than JS and takes at least 3 times longer to master, and all the while people are still disagreeing on its benefits.
IMO typescript once you know some of the pitfalls can become a super strong tool too determine bugs before you hit refresh without having too much overhead in typing. Its also great while refactoring since you see most of the bugs right away and don't need to search them.
Yes absolutely, it shines with refactoring and especially with autocomplete in an IDE like VSCode (you benefit from that even when you don't use TS but your libraries/imports do) ... and what I liked is that your code "documents itself" and that it makes you think a bit more thoroughly about code design.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
