0:00 In this exercise, we have an example object here with a bunch of keys in. Several of them have keys which contain IDs. We want to create a new object out of that using this type helper OnlyIdKeys to extract only the keys that contain an ID.

0:41 There are probably several solutions to this, but I've picked one that shows an interesting use case for key remapping, especially using never. Those are your clues. Good luck.
