Retrospective: We Used TypeScript 5.6 for Full-Stack Development and Cut Context Switching by 50%

Retrospective: We Used TypeScript 5.6 for Full-Stack Development and Cut Context Switching by 50% Full-stack development is notorious for context switching: jumping between frontend JavaScript, backend Node.js, different type systems, linting rules, and build tools. For our 12-person engineering team, this was a daily pain point—until we standardized on TypeScript 5.6 across our entire stack. Here’s how we did it, and the 50% reduction in context switching we measured after 6 months. What Is Con
