I’m tired of US Senators. Also tired of the seemingly ever-increasing cost (and legal complexity) faced when creating anything. But I suppose restaurants would say the same, and most of us are happy not to fall sick most of the times we eat

I thought await in loops was a big no no, unless it has changed since I last checked? Doesn’t it remove any opportunity for parallelism, making the loop take much longer than it would with a Promise.all? Or am I missing something?

I remember seeing diagrams with some of the steps and stakeholders involved in nearly each credit card transaction, and it was quite the nightmare. Sure, it should be simpler. Much simpler. But given what we currently have, to have the op

It’s wild to think that DNS registries might be better protected than real estate ownership.

No, just as I meant it. But I honestly don’t remember what the causes where; it was over 10 years ago and lessons were dense in information. I can only recall a few tidbits here in there, including the specifications of a, as of now probabl
