Description

This happens in the code for the lesson to add support for eslint to support TypeScript files. In that lesson there's an instruction to add a "extends" config inside the "overrides" section intended to tailor the eslint config for TypeScript files.

Here's the exact line: https://github.com/kentcdodds/static-testing-tools/blob/28545516e33a63b3ea98eacfd0597b4ed8d8048b/.eslintrc#L24

Research direction

Start with the .eslintrc entry at line 24 and read the lesson instructions that introduce ESLint support for TypeScript files. Check how the extends option behaves inside overrides, then update the affected lesson or configuration so the documented setup is valid. Done means the lesson no longer directs users to an invalid ESLint option.
