Just finished the finale of s1 of #RingsofPower and I loved it. Every episode looked amazing, the characters were compelling, and the storylines were enjoyable. 5 stars, can't wait for season 2.
A common source of disappointment is recency bias: weighing the last week more heavily than the last year.

TypeScript tip:
Avoid making a property optional when the property isn’t valid in a certain case.
Instead, declare 2 separate types, and use Omit to avoid copy/paste.
Example: Many objects lack an id until they're saved. So declare a separate "Unsaved" type.
