TypeScript Errors Are Not Annoying They’re Helpful

When I started using TypeScript, the errors felt overwhelming.
But over time, I realized something important:

👉 TypeScript errors are warnings, not obstacles.

Here are some common ones every developer sees:

❌ Property does not exist on type

This usually means your type definition doesn’t fully match your data.

❌ Type 'string' is not assignable to type 'number'

A classic example of TypeScript saving you from runtime bugs.

❌ Object is possibly 'undefined'

A reminder to handle edge cases before they reach production.

❌ Implicit 'any' type

Explicit types improve readability, maintainability, and team collaboration.

Why this matters

Each TypeScript error you fix:

Prevents bugs before runtime

Makes your code safer and more predictable

Improves long-term scalability

Type safety > runtime surprises 🚀

If you’re still writing plain JavaScript, TypeScript is one of the best upgrades you can make.
