What this snippet does

Directly accessing a missing key raises a KeyError, halting execution if uncaught.

Expected output

KeyError: 'name'

Why practise typing this

Typing collections code builds muscle memory for the symbols and indentation Python uses most, which prose-based typing tests never cover. DevType measures your words per minute and accuracy on this snippet and tracks the individual characters you mistype, so later lessons can target them.
