Learn how TypeScript discriminated unions model state so invalid combinations simply won't compile. Master the discriminant pattern, exhaustiveness checking with never, and dramatically cleaner reducers.

Most type safety failures in TypeScript stem from treating all strings as interchangeable. Branded types prevent these errors at compile time without runtime overhead.

Most generic type bugs stem from variance issues that strict mode doesn't catch. TypeScript's new 'in' and 'out' annotations finally give developers explicit control over covariance and contravariance in generic parameters.

Master TypeScript's mapped types to build custom type transformations. Learn keyof iteration, property modifiers, and key remapping to create bulletproof utility types.

Learn when and why to use TypeScript's satisfies operator. Master the difference between type annotations, as assertions, and satisfies for bulletproof type safety.

Master TypeScript's built-in utility types to eliminate type duplication, prevent bugs, and write maintainable code that scales. Learn Pick, Omit, Partial, and 7 more essential utilities with real-world examples.
