We're here asyncronously waiting for the rest of the meme.

- Jokes must be in good taste. No hate speech, bigotry, etc.
I'm actually laughing out loud at the amount of whitespace because ~~thread~~ routine is still executing lmao
Honestly, I don't get it.
Is it about the syntax sugar? Would you like to use callbacks instead?
Async programming is when you achive concurrency even with one thread. It's needed. There's no alternative to this.
It's a meme, it's not actually saying not to use async:
async/await could be useful if one creates an entire program designed on and for it, but it stops being acceptable as soon as I need two .thens inside of each other because I tried to use fetch in a non-async app without race conditions
Observables are your friends
For those who don't get it, it's the "stop doing science" meme.
less async more nsync
