>> Steve Kinney: Awesome. So yeah, like my goal is for some, like, obviously the immediate things of like getting like the state and all of those fun things, like do those tomorrow. The more esoteric stuff of like being able to derive the props and like figuring out what utility types you need to like reverse engineer why some library did not give you the types that you needed. And now, I mean, internally, I had to do it for like one of our own internal libraries because it was like, I do not feel like bothering my co-worker and making him deployed to npm again.

I'm just going to derive the types myself, right? But some of those are unique and special and like the goal is like to put the flag down in your brain so that on a walk as you're stewing over a problem, you're like, wait, I could do that thing, right? And that is like the kind of like level that I kind of want to sit in your brain that know that the opportunity is there and that these things are very approachable, but like, some of them will take, you know, like the opportunity to use it.
