Look, we've all been there. You skip the boring fundamentals, copy-paste from Stack Overflow like it's a competitive sport, and suddenly you're walking yourself through code you barely understand. The dog walking itself is literally every self-taught JS dev trying to explain their spaghetti code during a code review. "Yeah, I know it works, but I'm not entirely sure how or why ." The leash represents the illusion of control you think you have over your async/await mess until production breaks at 2 PM on a Friday.
