This is what I'd do. The way you typecast an unsafe object doesn't really matter, just ensure it's the right type instead.

Hard disagree. This is actually fine. Coupling is better than letting the clients stitch together a bunch of APIs in various slow request/response iterations (aka "waterfalls") Use graphql or make a BFF, but avoid stitching APIs together too much on the client

Has anyone written a nice & small TypeScript-based `Promise.props()` util? I've missed this ever since I stopped using bluebirdjs in favor of native promise fns.

- Decoupling is often an anti pattern - Few big files with code > many small files - Your company should try to stick with 1 language for everything - Monorepo 4 lyfe - Serverful is easier than serverless

Is `force-cache` really a good default when that is not what the standard browser `fetch()` does? From

@tannerlinsley how soon until you build an alternative to Next.js/Remix? You have most of the pieces soon 😅

With tRPC + Next.js 13, you'll have your components render on the edge but be able to have the "server logic" in a traditional lambda close to the DB. Unless you have a globally distributed DB, I at least *think* this is the best approach?

Shower-thought: if you have any query waterfalls in your app, serving it on "the edge" will actually make it *slower* compared to hosting your app close to your data. I think I just killed my own hype for serving dynamic sites on the edge. Am I thinking about it wrong?

@devagrawal09 @trpcio Haha yeah, people tend to get surprised about that. We mainly care that the "edges" are well typed to create the DX we want. The juice is not worth the squeeze in a bunch of the internals

Another obvious favorite TypeScript-utility of mine! - Infer the type of a function - Unwrap the return type's promise. ``` type AwaitedReturnType<T extends (...args: any) => any> = Awaited<ReturnType<T>>; ```

If we generated typesafe Swift or Kotlin SDKs automatically for your tRPC API, would you be interested?

Me and @jullerino are hacking on automatic hydration for server-rendered "use client"-components component by generating a `<script>`-tag on the server that gets picked up by the browser
