In Plain English
Pick<T, K> creates a type by picking properties K from T. Omit<T, K> creates a type by picking all properties from T and removing K.
Core Rules to Remember
Pick<T, Keys>: Constructs a subtype containing only the specified property keys.
Omit<T, Keys>: Constructs a subtype with specified property keys excluded.
