HYPER-TYPING

Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

Hyper-typing in TypeScript is where libraries strive for perfect type safety but create overly complex and difficult-to-understand types. This approach can lead to cryptic error messages, unsafe workarounds, and a frustrating developer experience. Simpler types, even if less precise, or type generation, often are a better developer experience.
