What this snippet does
If an awaited promise throws and isn't caught, it becomes an unhandled rejection, which crashes Node.js applications.
Expected output
done (node:1234) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Error: crash
Why practise typing this
Typing async & promises code builds muscle memory for the symbols and indentation TypeScript 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.
