It is very much not being turned into synchronous code. There are a lot of reasons to use async code, and they're all still valid with this pattern. For example: - the event loop i…

If the inner function is async, then its callers need to be async as well (see https://journal.stuffwithstuff.com/2015/02/01/what-color-is-... ). Important to note that unless the …

Strong agree based on my experience. Worth noting that this is easily enforceable with eslint: https://typescript-eslint.io/rules/return-await/

Apple's numbers here are a lot better than I expected! For comparison, many of the other FAANG companies fare much worse, and many of the smaller companies I saw when consulting an…

Personal anecdote: I didn't major in it because I had no idea I would enjoy it. I was fortunate that my engineering program had two semesters of Java. We spent more time hand drawi…

It works great, too, for abstracting away fetch logic to middleware (as in this blog post) or to a shared module. And it is in the redux tutorials, but buried in the advanced secti…
