How interviewers test TypeScript
Real questions from Skilture's interview banks, with what the interviewer is listening for.
Frontend Developer · intermediate
What problems does TypeScript solve over plain JavaScript, and what are its limits?
Listen for: Look for compile-time type safety, better tooling and refactoring, and the caveat that types are erased at runtime so it does not validate external data. Claiming it makes runtime bugs impossible is a red flag.
Frontend Developer · intermediate
What is the difference between an interface and a type alias in TypeScript?
Listen for: A good answer notes interfaces are extendable and mergeable while type aliases handle unions and primitives, and that either is fine for object shapes. Insisting one is always correct without nuance is a minor red flag.
Full Stack Developer · intermediate
What does TypeScript buy you on a full-stack project, and where does it not help?
Listen for: Look for compile-time safety and shared types across client and server, with the caveat that it does not validate runtime data from the network. Assuming types guarantee runtime correctness is a red flag.
