TypeScript is non-negotiable.
Every project, every file, every function. Full type safety from database schema to UI component. No exceptions.
typescriptlang.org ↗TypeScript is not optional in our workflow. Every project starts with strict mode enabled. Database schemas generate TypeScript types through Prisma or Drizzle. API responses are typed end-to-end with tRPC or typed fetch utilities. Component props are explicitly typed. Form validation schemas (Zod) double as runtime validators and compile-time types. This means an entire category of bugs.wrong property names, missing fields, type mismatches.simply cannot ship. The compiler catches them before the code leaves the developer's machine.
TypeScript is the single highest-leverage tool in our stack. It catches bugs at compile time instead of production. It makes refactoring safe.rename a field in the database schema and the compiler tells you every file that needs to change. It serves as living documentation.hovering over a function shows you exactly what it expects and returns. For our clients, this translates to fewer bugs, faster iteration, and a codebase that the next developer can understand without tribal knowledge.
End-to-End Type Safety
Database schema to API response to UI component. A single type change propagates through the entire stack.
Runtime Validation
Zod schemas that serve double duty as TypeScript types and runtime validators for forms and API inputs.
Safe Refactoring
Rename a database column and the compiler identifies every file that needs to update. No grep, no guessing.
