Stop Rewriting the Same TypeScript Types

You know that moment when you’ve got three slightly different versions of the same interface - one for updates, one for read-only views, and another that strips out a few fields?
Yeah… we’ve all been there.

That’s where TypeScript’s built-in utility types come to the rescue.
Things like Partial, Pick, Omit, and Readonly can make your types flexible, safer, and way less repetitive — no more juggling a dozen near-identical interfaces.

In my latest post, I break down how to actually use these helpers in real projects - with short, realistic examples (think users, configs, and API payloads), not just abstract docspeak.

If you’re already comfortable with TypeScript but want to write cleaner, smarter, and more type-safe code, this one’s for you.
