Promises, Async, and Beyond II: Error Handling
In this video, Duncan, a front end infrastructure engineer, discusses error handling in asynchronous code execution, focusing especially on anticipated and unanticipated errors. He elaborates on the concept of unhandled promise rejections and the challenges they pose in the coding environment. Duncan introduces us to 'useAsyncEffectHook', a new tool designed to tackle these challenges by improving error handling. The video also includes a discussion around meeting developers where they are' by creating tools that fit their current coding practices.
