React is starting to feel less like a pit of success, and more like a tightrope of success.

Whatever happened to fuck around and find out?

Matt Pocock just appeared in the last Astro presentation as symbol of type-safe coding 😂😂 can’t believe it.

Want to get back on the podcast circuit. Whose pod should I go on?

TIL that sometimes, in super-narrow cases, the order you specify your object properties matters:

My 70-year old Dad just bought a PS4.

He's never gamed before.

What should he play?

TS 5.5 is going to be so good, folks:

totaltypescript.com/type-predicate…

The book and the TT VSCode extension are going to go SO well together.

Encounter a new piece of syntax? Immediately get a link to the exact bit of the book that'll help you.

Note that this example doesn't work unless you use 'as const'.

You'd need to use typeof x === 'number' to get this working properly.

Hot tip - reposts don't matter any more. Only comments matter.

So if you like a post, comment on it to share it far and wide.

Thinking about writing an article series called 'TypeScript for Teams'

About reaching shared consensus on strictness rules/patterns, setting up CI optimally, handling PR's.

What tips should I include?

In the next few weeks, I will be launching:

- A FREE 16-chapter book with interactive exercises
- A 400 video, entry-level Total TypeScript training course (with a price I think you'll like)

This has been 11 months of blood, sweat, and tears.

I can't wait for you to see it ❤️

And yes, the entire book will be free ❤️

Paper copy available, but only for the nerds.

TypeScript 5.5 RC is now out to try! We're looking for feedback on inferred type predicates, JSDoc imports, regex checking, ${configDir}, isolatedDeclarations, build optimizations, and more!
