Async python in real life 🐍🔀

Maybe it's just me, but I hate stupid examples. I hate reading about OOP with animal examples as much as I hate reading about async with the client using bare asyncio.sleep statements. Mostly because (considering you won't work for a zoo 🤷‍♂️) these examples will never get any close to real life.

I want then to explore async without talking about food (although I'm hungry right now) and using examples that you can run yourself and understand. So, the plan is to:

I don't want to start talking about the solution (i.e. async), I want you to feel the problem first, I want you to run things locally from your own computer. To create the background we want to simulate I'll be using a repo with all scenarios available on GitHub and I strongly recommend you to clone it so you can follow up with me.

Now open a new terminal (don't forget to activate the virtualenv) and head to the client dir and execute the sync version of our client:
