Got a chance to read this article early and WOW is it great at outlining what branded types are able to do for you!

This article was long in the making, but I'm happy with how it came out (& relieved it's finally done). Branded types are surprisingly useful when they're applicable!

Shoutout & thanks to Kenny Lin, @chriskrycho, @jfmengels, @Matheyes, and @_nicojs for advice on the article - you all rock! ❤️

It’s arrived! I can’t wait to bring this to @ReactMiamiConf and get it signed by the author. Thanks for writing it, @JoshuaKGoldberg.

favourite resource for learning typescript for someone who hasn't worked very much in typed languages for years. (asking for me.)

@JoshuaKGoldberg @lizkenyon07 @LearningTSBook This book plus the TS handbook are absolutely all you need to get up and running fast — and this is a hill I am willing to die on.
