If there's one recommendation I'd give to podcasters it's to repeat the name of a book, blog post, movie, videogame, etc., that they're gushing on about. Don't refer to it as "it". Name it at least 3 times. If I'm driving and I missed the name, I want to hear it again.

. you're probably better off awaiting later where the value is used:. const aPromise = someAjaxRequest();.const bPromise = someOtherAjaxRequest();. display(await a);.display(await b);. Or. .

Pet peeve! When you see code like this:. const a = await someAjaxRequest();.const b = await someOtherAjaxRequest();. display(a);.display(b);. You can't display a until after b finishes! You're using a concurrent system but not taking advantage of the parallelism. Instead . .
