What this snippet does
Retry with exponential backoff is a standard pattern for unstable network calls — doubling the delay reduces server pressure.
Expected output
Attempt 1 failed. Retrying in 100ms... Attempt 2 failed. Retrying in 200ms... success!
Why practise typing this
Typing async/await code builds muscle memory for the symbols and indentation JavaScript uses most, which prose-based typing tests never cover. DevType measures your words per minute and accuracy on this snippet and tracks the individual characters you mistype, so later lessons can target them.
