Line by line

```
1. async function loadUsers(teamId) {
```
Defines a function: a reusable block you can call by name.

2. const res = await fetch(`/api/teams/${teamId}/users`);

Declares a variable — a named box holding a value.

```
3. if (!res.ok) {
```
A condition: the block below only runs when this is true.
```
4. throw new Error("request failed");
```
Plain statement — it does its work and moves on.
```
5. }
```
Plain statement — it does its work and moves on.
```
6. const users = await res.json();
```
Declares a variable — a named box holding a value.

7. return users.filter((u) => u.active).map((u) => u.name);

Defines a function: a reusable block you can call by name.

```
8. }
```
Plain statement — it does its work and moves on.

Reading code you did not write

Most confusion when reading unfamiliar code is not about syntax, it is about intent. Naming each construct — this is a loop, this waits on the network, this hands a value back — turns a wall of symbols into a sequence of decisions you can follow.

Nesting depth and line length are the two cheapest quality signals available. Anything past three levels of indentation is usually two functions wearing one name, and lines over a hundred characters hide their own logic on a laptop screen.

The pattern matching here runs entirely in your browser, so pasted code never leaves your machine. It recognises structure rather than semantics, which means it will describe what a line is doing without guessing why the author wanted it.
