Describe your suggestion

The "What the heck is the event loop anyway?" video is already listed in the assignments of the "Asynchronous Code" lesson in the JavaScript course. I'd suggest removing it from one of the lessons' assignments.

Thanks for reporting @kyledinardi

@TheOdinProject/javascript do you think its worth repeating this resource here or could it be 🪓 'd?

[kyledinardi]

On second thought I'm not sure. It IS relevant to both lessons and they are separated by quite a bit of content. Maybe it'd be best to just acknowledge that it was in the previous lesson with a lead-in such as "If you missed it in the JavaScript course, ".

I really like that video and feel it really should be repeated given both how helpful it is for the Node section, as well as the amount of time that would likely have passed between the async JS lesson and the Node section. IMO it's just that good of a talk.

I'd definitely be in favour of amending the verbiage for that assignment step to something along the lines of a reminder, like "You may remember [video title](link to video) from an earlier part of the course ...", and to drive home how valuable that video is for understanding the event loop.
