A comment on Callbacks as our Generation's Goto Statement.

await PostPicToServiceAsync(mFile.GetStream (), tagsCtrl.Tags);

Seems to be equivalent to a blocking call of old, or am I missing something?

The compiler rewrites your code to schedule all next lines as a continuation. There is no blocking.
