Corrections:
15:45 Intents describe what events your bot will receive and what it has access to. The guilds intent is required so discord.js can internally populate it's cache to limit it's API calls to Discord.
23:49 Using ./ means the import will be relative to the file that the import is made in. Without it the import would be absolute meaning it would be from the root of your Node.JS project
