Why use TypeScript in frontend development and what are common pitfalls?
Answer
TypeScript improves reliability with static types.
**Benefits:**
- Catch errors earlier
- Better refactoring
- Better IDE autocomplete
**Pitfalls:**
- Overusing `any`
- Too-complex generic types
- Types drifting from runtime validation
Pair TS with runtime validation (Zod/Valibot/etc.) for untrusted API data.
