Jan 2024 Top Articles and Resources
Articles and Learning Resources that I found useful in January 2024.
Hello everyone,
I am very excited to let you know that starting in January 2024, I will be sending out a monthly curated list of top articles and resources related to Typescript and other relevant technologies. This list will be sent out on the first Monday following the end of each month.
Although I share these articles on my social media, I wanted to create a central place where all of my subscribers could find all the useful resources related to Typescript I come across regularly. This is a return to the roots of the contents of this Newsletter, which was mainly focused on curating Typescript resources.
For those who are still interested in my regular content, don't worry, as it will continue to be sent out every week.
I appreciate your support.

The Discriminated Union: Writing Easy-to-Use Types in TypeScript by Peter Van Drunen
TypeScript’s flexibility is one of the reasons I love using it. Unfortunately, that flexibility also provides opportunities to write confusing code. The main area where I see developers struggling is defining types that make writing code painful or verbose. Often, this comes in the form of using optional fields to extend types so they represent too many ideas within the same type.
That's all for now. I'll see you again at the end of February for another monthly recap.
