Too few sampled comments (1) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
The only comment cites another post on this blog about TypeScript discriminated unions, alongside zod and io-ts, for parsing typed data. The comment does not judge the writing.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 1 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
Former CTO of SKUTOPIA I write about Functional Programming, TypeScript, Node, Event Sourcing, and tech leadership. I also write at A Democratic Economy about the intersection of business, technology, economics, politics, and the human spirit.

What Hacker News says?
You can use discriminated unions with TS ( https://antman-does-software.com/typescripts-discriminated-u... ), and you can even parse them from unknown data using tools like zod ( https://zod.dev/?id=discriminated-unions ), io-ts, or the likes. I can't think of anything I can do in .NET (which has runtime types) that I can't do in TS with the help of a library or two.
