One of the worst issues I've seen with bad code is that a few developers get used to it, regard their knowledge of it as a skill, and then defend it against attempts to improve it. That's where a difficult code problem becomes an impossible human problem.

As promised here is the code: github.com/steos/http-ts Unfortunately I don't think I will have the time to turn this into a proper library any time soon. Feel free to fork and take it further.

The merchants of complexity will try to convince you that you can't do anything yourself these days. You can't do auth, you can't do scale, you can't run a database, you can't connect a computer to the internet. You're a helpless peon who should just buy their wares. No. Reject.
