Build Index Maps for Repeated Lookups

Multiple .find() calls by the same key should use a Map.

Incorrect (O(n) per lookup):

function processOrders(orders: Order[], users: User[]) {
  return orders.map(order => ({
    ...order,
    user: users.find(u => u.id === order.userId)
  }))
}

Correct (O(1) per lookup):

function processOrders(orders: Order[], users: User[]) {
  const userById = new Map(users.map(u => [u.id, u]))

  return orders.map(order => ({
    ...order,
    user: userById.get(order.userId)
  }))
}

Build map once (O(n)), then all lookups are O(1). For 1000 orders × 1000 users: 1M ops → 2K ops.
