I’m a career programmer, very comfortable writing programs in Python, and recently started learning Node.

I understand the asynchronous features are useful in many situations, but when I debug my code, I find myself adding await before every single statement (including debug log statements), to be absolutely sure the program is doing what I expect, and is outputting logs in the order I expect so that I can see what is happening.

I always want my code to execute synchronously. Is there a better way to achieve this than adding await at the start of every line?
