These kind of articles seem to be commonplace and I frankly do not think they provide any productive value. "any" is supposed to be the escape hatch as TypeScript is designed to be incremental. Anyone with a semblance of understanding knows that TypeScript transpiles into regular JavaScript, you don't run TypeScript code in the browser.
Can you please provide more detail when it's best to use runtime type checks? For webapps with strict TS config, I'm failing to see the advantage. Runtime errors can occur when crossing boundaries from server API to UI but when you discover the exceptions, you go fix your contract.
