 - `strict`: `strictPropertyInitialization` forces you to initialize class properties or explicitly declare that they can be undefined. You can opt out of this with a definite assignment assertion.
 - `"typeRoots": ["./typings", "./node_modules/@types"]`: By default, TypeScript looks in `node_modules/@types` and parent folders for third party type declarations. You may wish to override this default resolution so you can put all your global type declarations in a special `typings` folder.
 
-Compilation speed grows linearly with size of codebase. For large projects, you will want to use [Project References](https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/project-references.html). See our [ADVANCED](https://react-typescript-cheatsheet.netlify.app/docs/advanced/intro/) cheatsheet for commentary.
