A short guide explaining the difference between TypeScript's `any` and `unknown` types. `any` disables compiler checks entirely, allowing runtime bugs to slip through undetected. `unknown` is safer: it requires explicit type narrowing (e.g., `typeof` checks) before the value can be used, catching potential bugs at compile time rather than at runtime. Code examples illustrate how `unknown` prevents unsafe property access and invalid assignments that `any` would silently allow.
