its still about the syntax and referencing that, there are like 3-5 ways of doing asynchronous code in JS
and its also not my point about "async in JS", thats a symptom in a field where ever random person pulled in to conduct an interview has their own random threshold of competence, when simply conducting an interview that mimics the day to day on the job would be more accurate
"did you google that in 10 seconds" great!
"did the compiler autocomplete your method name or show you a list of likely possibilities?" great!
"did you post a question on a QA website, while you went to work on other parts of the task while the hints and answers rolled in?" efficient!
"did your compiler show you a syntax error immediately that you corrected immediately?" great!
"did you compile it as you went and rapidly iterate towards the write answer like everyone else working here?" perfect!
whiteboarding, and most collaborative coding platforms, fail to replicate 9/10ths of that. so it tells nothing about the candidate.
