The Wheel Reinvention Syndrome

Ah, the classic reinvention of the wheel syndrome. You spend weeks crafting your "revolutionary" tool, only to discover that not only does a solution already exist, but it's actually better than yours. And of course, your manager witnesses your moment of enlightenment. Nothing quite says "efficient use of company resources" like building something that already exists. Your commit history will remember this moment fondly.

What's Its Name On Its Birth Certificate

The keyword async is just the cool nickname. The full legal name is "Asynchronous." But what's await 's formal identity? The question mark perfectly captures that existential crisis. It's like discovering your friend's birth certificate says "Jonathan" when you've been calling him "Jon" for years. Turns out await doesn't even have a long-form name—it just sits there... waiting... for promises to resolve while refusing to disclose its government name. Classic commitment issues.
