“Complex but solves real problems. For mission-critical workflows, the reliability guarantees are worth the investment.”
“For TypeScript full-stack apps, tRPC eliminates an entire category of bugs. No schemas, no codegen, just types.”
“As systems become more distributed and AI agents need durability, Temporal becomes essential infrastructure.”
“tRPC proved that type-safe APIs don't need schemas or code generation. The idea is being adopted everywhere.”
