Oh wow, decorators! I see them mentioned everywhere in Angular and MobX, but I've never actually built one myself. It's great that they're going to show us the practical side and even build something custom.

Okay, so they're starting with a super simple example of logging value changes and adding emojis. It might seem trivial, but it's a smart way to show how decorators can intercept and modify property behavior right from the start.

I like how they're immediately showing the underlying mechanism with `Object.defineProperty`, getters, and setters. That's the kind of detail that makes these concepts stick and shows you how it all works under the hood.
