Just took MapReader for a spin—an open-source tool for analyzing historical maps, from my former #MachinesReadingMaps colleagues. I'm honestly in awe of their text spotting results!
Example here—that's out-of-the-box config, default model, no tweaks, no cherry-picking! 🤯

I highly recommend using a helper function like `shouldNeverHappen` instead of throwing errors directly in your code (only applies to defects/panics).
It's an easy way to make your code more readable and improve DX by automatically opening the debugger during dev.
