“Types from server to client with zero code generation. The DX is magical — change a server type, client updates instantly.”
“Using the official SDK reduces risk of breaking changes. The agent patterns are production-tested by Anthropic themselves.”
“For TypeScript full-stack apps, tRPC eliminates an entire category of bugs. No schemas, no codegen, just types.”
