Keyboard driven IDEs train you to be fast on the draw with your test suites like a old west gunslinger. Don't underestimate the power.

If TypeScript had branded "mapped" types as "reduced" types, I would've caught on faster—they transform a type union's N members into ONE key:value object type.

The reason AI will eventually eliminate developers as an occupation is that for every tedious and painstakingly crafted software solution to a given problem, there are a thousand inexpensive AI-built alternatives that are simple, concise, and wrong.
