OOP is a superficial lowest common denominator of programming. Everyone can understand on a superficial level (cat is a animal, dog is an animal, cat does meou, dog does bark, kind of thing), and proceed to write programs. That's why i

Yeah. `async` involves a lot of sophisticated and bleeding edge machinery, and is not really "fully ready" for wide-consumption, IMO. What's funny is that while `async` is great tool to have 99% of programs will not see a dif

Another tip: when writing communication (like email), start with TL;DR. Explain quickly who should read it and why. Start with the important stuff first, follow up with details and less important stuff.
