✦ Veloqraft Editorial

Key Takeaways

  • Strict TypeScript typing and linter rules catch bugs at compile time rather than in production.
  • Comprehensive automated tests give developers confidence to refactor without fear of regressions.

Up to 80% of a software system's total lifecycle cost is incurred during maintenance. Writing readable, modular code pays massive dividends across years of operation.
