Thank you @darkwiiplayer for your comment. Yes, I agree that there's a way to use async/await to ensure the other part of the program gets executed while the result of the async operation is being processed however, there's also a way as shown in the article where the event loop is blocked and no other part of the program will get executed until the result of the asynchronous operation becomes available as a result of using it wrongly.
DarkWiiPlayer is correct. In your first example you changed the behavior so your promises are effectively running in parallel instead of running sequentially in your asynchronous example. The event loop isn’t being blocked, you just told it to wait for the first promise to complete before executing the second.

Thank you so much @darkwiiplayer for your follow up response and you @dununubatman for your further explanation. Yes, you're correct and I agree with you that I did not show that in the article and I am going to update that part in the article as pointed out.
I really appreciate 🙏🏻

This is not correct
awaitwill not block execution of the whole program. It'll pause the execution of the function.The event loop is NOT blocked by any async function unless you’re executing blocking code. Await is not blocking code.
Again, that's not what you show in the article. You're not blocking the event loop, you're just waiting for a timer twice in a row.
