Embracing Stricter TypeScript

adoption is near ubiquitous, but many codebases only scratch the surface of its type system. Enabling `strict` mode is just the beginning. Advanced patterns like discriminated unions, template literal types, and the `satisfies` operator allow developers to model complex business logic directly into the type system, catching edge cases at compile time. Coupled with runtime validation libraries like Zod, we can achieve true end-to-end type safety from the database schema up to the frontend UI components.
