I've been on teams working on node projects for like 15 years. I've never seen someone who understands promises or async await do that. You'd have to know nothing about what the async keyword actually does to be compelled to do that.
- eurasiantiger 4y agoI have seen plenty of (usually junior front-end) devs resort to exactly this kind of cargo cult coding and magical thinking.
- wiml 4y agoWell, they're junior devs. You're supposed to help them get past that stage, not just throw away all your tools.
- eurasiantiger 4y agoWhat made you think I haven’t been helping them?
- joe_guy 4y agoI'm going out on a limb here and assuming the issues with their code don't begin and end with async.

- eurasiantiger 4y agoGood day, axe handle.
- hn_throwaway_99 4y agoI mean, I know its a bit of linguistic flourish, but considering NodeJS was only initially released 12 years ago, that's quite a feat!
