When programmers start out with coroutines, one of the first questions is "how do I fire and forget"? The simplistic answer is "you don't, it's not safe," but that's not very helpful. We just need to reframe the question, so it's not
fire and forget, but more like
fire and hand over. This week I've tried to give a basic answer to the question, to help people get started with coroutines quicker.
