async-await - but sometimes it just makes sense to use a then with a traditional Promise.
We should remember that async is nothing but a 'wrapper' or syntacic sugar for a Promise - it's not wholly different thing.
async just makes our code a bit easier to read as it 'looks' 👀 synchronous. And, no callback is needed, mostly. 👍🏾
Callbacks are generally just for 'event based' UI stuff, such as addEventListener.
