Cursor

Async/Await Promise Chain Broken
After Cursor refactored your async/await code, promises are no longer resolving correctly. Operations that should happen sequentially are executing out of order, causing data inconsistencies.
Async/await syntax or promise handling was likely changed incorrectly.
Error Messages You Might See
Cannot read property of undefined
Promise rejection: undefined
Data not loaded
Operation executed out of order
Common Causes
- Missing await on async function call, continuing before completion
- Promise.all used with dependent operations (order matters)
- Try/catch removed, unhandled promise rejections
- Async function syntax broken (async not declared)
- Return statement missing in async function
How to Fix It
Always await async calls: const data = await fetchData(). Use Promise.all for parallel: Promise.all([fetch1, fetch2]). Use .then() chain for sequential. Wrap in try/catch: try { ... } catch(e) { ... }. Verify async function returns Promise.

Hi Im a full stack developer, a vibe coded MVP to Market ready product, I'm here to help
Sage Fulcher
Hey I'm Sage! Im a Boston area software engineer who grew up in South Florida. Ive worked at a ton of cool places like a telehealth kidney care startup that took part in a billion dollar merger (Cricket health/Interwell health), a boutique design agency where I got to work on a ton of exciting startups including a photography education app, a collegiate Esports league and more (Philosophie), a data analytics as a service startup in Cambridge (MA) as well as at Phillips and MIT Lincoln Lab where I designed and developed novel network security visualizations and analytics. I've been writing code and furiously devoted to using computers to make people’s lives easier for about 17 years. My degree is in making computers make pretty lights and sounds. Outside of work I love hip hop, the Celtics, professional wrestling, magic the gathering, photography, drumming, and guitars (both making and playing them)

Alvin Voo
I’ve watched the tech landscape evolve over the last decade—from the structured days of Java Server Pages to the current "wild west" of Agentic-driven development. While AI can "vibe" a frontend into existence, I specialize in the architecture that keeps it from collapsing.
My expertise lies in the critical backend infrastructure: the parts that must be fast, secure, and scalable. I thrive on high-pressure environments, such as when I had only three weeks to architect and launch an Ethereum redemption system with minimal prior crypto knowledge, turning it into a major revenue stream.
What I bring to your project:
Forensic Debugging: I don't just "patch" bugs; I use tools like Datadog and Explain Analyzers to map out bottlenecks and resolve root causes—like significantly reducing memory usage by optimizing complex DB joins.
Full-Stack Context: Deep experience in Node.js and React, ensuring backends play perfectly with mobile and web teams.
Sanity in the Age of AI: I bridge the gap between "best practices" and modern speed, ensuring your project isn't just built fast, but built to last.

Get HelpFrequently Asked Questions
When should I use Promise.all?
For parallel independent operations. Promise.all(promises) waits for all. Fails if any rejects.
How do I handle async errors?
try/catch with await. Or .catch() on promise. Don't ignore errors - they'll cause bugs.
