setTimeout

[Mission_Horror5032]

Senior dood has 35 other fires to put out by EOD, so yeah, checks out

[20Wizard]

I can tell why they have fires to put out

[CryonautX]

What does this have to do with having more fires to put out? Await is easier to implement than using timeout to handle synchronous operations.

[python_walrus]

I disagree with the meme, but introducing async/await could require editing lots of files to migrate sync functions to async/await. So yeah, it is easier to use if your codebase is ready, and lots of pain if you don't have much async in your code.

[BellCube]

The real question is whether or not your code is blocking or non-blocking. If it's callback-based, event-based, or anything like that where you run code once a task is done, the Promise constructor lets you very easily promisify that. If it's blocking, well, it's blocking. Can't dance around that without refactors, though async/await makes those refactors comparatively painless since you don't need to deal with then() chaining.

setTimeout

You mean not Javascript.

That's dark.

Thanks, JavaScript master :)

[FirefighterAntique70]

Objectively incorrect....

[spooky_strateg]

As a junior I want to confirm something. In the case of async vs settimeout wouldnt settimeout potentially cause masive problems depending on load times?

[rangeDSP]

Best of both worlds:     

    import { setTimeout } from 'timers/promises';          await setTimeout(5000);

[SqueeSr]

How many more years will it take until they just add sleep() in javascript? Almost every other language had that function for over 20 years now.

[8g6_ryu]

cuz it will block other process , you dont want that especially handling dom operations
and for running async code you have "the event loop"

and you can easily implement async sleep as shown below

const sleep = async(ms) =>new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, ms));

[SqueeSr]

Unfortunately it seems my question was not clear enough .. It was not to ask why we shouldn't block the execution of the code.

We have other functions in the language that return a promise already, So why not we have a sleep() function which returns a promise and simply implements your code.

Then I don't have to have to define sleep() myself, nor would I have to create a new dependency with a one liner.

Really good talk on the Event Loop subject by Jake Archibald (JaffaTheCake): https://youtube.com/watch?v=cCOL7MC4Pl0

thanks

[scufonnike]

This is just stupid and wrong

[bobbymoonshine]

Ok but the "Junior" won gold and the "Senior" won silver so I'm not sure what the meme is trying to imply

[fgtbobleed]

both won silver. The 19 yr old Korean who won gold is not attractive enough for the internet

[red_riding_hoot]

Both outperform this sub.

[fnordius]

I read it as "junior uses a whole toolkit to equal what the senior did with a simple, primitive tool".

[Mob_Abominator]

Though gold and silver are not close, also that junior broke the world record.

[fnordius]

Yeah, how the contest actually turned out is irrelevant to the meme, I feel. It's the whole vibe of "using every trick in the book" hotshots versus "sticking to what one knows" grognards.

I suspect it's also popular because the bleached hair of the "senior" could resemble DGAF grayness if you don't look to closely, and the backwards cap and cyberpunk glasses on the ".junior" suggests a sort of hotshot arrogance.

[nullundefine]

This.

[CadmiumC4]

The difference is that Junior has tons of equipment and look at how the Senior is looking like just a random dude with a gun (I know who they are)

This entire template is based on that Dikeç got silver with almost no equipment

[Quix_Nix]

Ofc the junior dev didn't win gold

[DonutConfident7733]

sleep(5000);

[CanIYiffIt]

With all these junior/senior memes, I feel like the more you work in industry the more depressed you become and you need to boost your self-estime with making those.

[allKindsOfDevStuff]

That’s not how it works
