Errors

Lessons Learned

Remember to check if you included all braces { }

You cannot use properties of variables that are null, instead just check if they are null if that solves it

To get custom emoji code, use :AhegaoBestGirl: for example

Async/Await

When an event has parameters, you must include them when writing code, for example: client.on('voiceStateUpdate', (oldMember, newMember) => {

How “dummy link” stream error was fixed: initially tried tying an error event to dispatcher and then stream, but isolated error to the creation of the stream using yt-dl, so had to use try/catch
