I’m not at my computer so I can’t remember the exact behavior of this situation, but was OP more so referring to autocomplete abilities of typescript? I think they were saying, you first must know if the object barks or meows, you must first type that in in order to get the benefit of type checking and subsequent autocomplete conditional body, which is annoying when you are dealing with complicated types. It requires you to do some hunting in to the types, rather than using a piece of code more like an interface.
