    I never get tired of seeing fun little things like this. Is there a way to make VSCode not truncate the type info?

    So which one should now one study - TypeScript type system, RxJS operators, or the next generation of vomit produced by the Angular team? Together they compose extremely unfunny clusterfuck. For now my CVs all fall into a black hole, you better not fall off the employment train.

    An interesting tidbit that I found in the source code is that it only accepts integers from 1 to 20. Perfectly sufficient for its use case, although not quite extendable as I would hope

    This is neat. Can someone explain why the generic types extending string need to default to any in all these cases, like: `TDescription extends string = any` ?

    What a beautiful little treat. For everyone curious, it took me less than ten minutes to play through. Well done!

    How do you play the game?

    Weirdly, a spider killing me isn't the worst thing I've seen written in Typescript.
