I stand corrected. It looks like web workers is the way for JavaScript to do multi-threading. Async has always been enough for what I need to do in the front end, as most of my long running processes are just calling a back end. Edit to add

I think you're missing the point. CI solves it because it proves that it can build in the pipeline, using a well defined environment. No guessing at which node version you need or any other dependencies that may be required.

It sounds like the author got stiffed by Zendesk on this bug, $0 due to email spoofing being out of scope. The $50k was from other bug bounties he was awarded on hackerone. It's too bad Zendesk basically said "thanks" but the

Ah yes, someone else who has read it. You're right, it is more in the context of romantic relationships, but I have since noticed nice guys can be a problem everywhere. I certainly had some "nice guy" tendencies in the past,
