In most worlds, I would not bother checking what the "Node16" module resolution settings pertain to, but with LLMs, I feel like I just get educated way more.
In fact, I actually knew what the resolution change meant, but I didn't know it changed in version 16 and this is the point of entry to read.
protip: I've asked LLMs to explain configuration files as I come across them. It would be overwhelming to learn all of them in a single go, but as I read more, I get more familiarity with different project structures.
If you think people are getting dumber, don't hate the tool, hate the player.

The "Node16" setting in TypeScript:
When you set "moduleResolution": "Node16" , TypeScript understands these new rules and will:
• Check your package.json "type" field
• Enforce proper file extensions
• Handle both CommonS and ES modules correctly
It's like telling TypeScript: "Hey, use the smart new way Node.js figures out modules, not the old simple way."
