what's a javascript feature you mass-adopted way too late and felt dumb about
i'll go first. i was writing `.then().catch()` chains for like two years before i actually started using async/await. i knew it existed, i'd seen it in tutorials, but my code "worked" so i never bothered switching. then i refactored an old project and realized half my bugs were from mishandled promise chains that async/await would have caught immediately.
also took me way too long to start using optional chaining. i had nested ternaries and `&&` checks everywhere like some kind of animal. the day i discovered `user?.address?.city` i mass-replaced like 40 lines across a project.
what's yours?
