-The trick is that `require` adds the interface object for a module to its cache _before_ it starts loading the module. That way, if any `require` call made while it is running try to load it, it is already known, and the current interface will be returned, rather than starting to load the module once more (which would eventually overflow the stack).

-Which shows that the way you structure your promises can have a real effect on the way the work is scheduled. A simple loop with `await` in it will make the process completely linear—it waits for each file to load before proceeding. `Promise.all` makes it possible for multiple tasks to conceptually be worked on at the same time, allowing them to make progress while files are still being loaded. This can be faster, but it also makes the order in which things will happen less predictable. In this case, where we're only going to be incrementing numbers in a table, that isn't hard to do in a safe way. For other kinds of problems, it may be a lot more difficult.
