For example, when I discovered multithreading, all my programs used it
in some way, even when it was unnecessary.
I sometimes use multithreading, but never mutexes. Mutex can be harmless
if there's only one. Otherwise better use select()/poll() or you'll
waste time or even dead-lock. It's amazing how the old select() paradigm
is so much better than the modern mutex. I see mutex as an invention to
relieve the programmer from thinking.
Really? I must be pretty stupid because I have think extra hard when
using mutexes... :(
Sorry if I hurted you. Maybe you thought hard to understand how to
not dead-lock.
No worries. I am just trying to make a joke. As you can see, I am not so
funny. ;)
