Node CRUD basics

Javascript philosophy and execution flow is quite different to Perl:

  • With Perl it's strongly discouraged to wrap an operation in a `try { ... }` block without a `catch { ... }` block following it, because any errors would be hidden and the operation might silently fail.
  • With Javascript and Promises, many operations are automatically wrapped in a `try { ... }` block, and are not even executed if they don't have a `.then()` or a `.catch()` added, so they silently fail!
