The "you fucked up somewhere" without any explaination of his opinion makes this piece look childish.

It's Ted Dziuba of Uncov fame.
he assumed most of his readers are smart enough to know where "somewhere" is.
I'd say "demands" more than "assumes."

The "somewhere" is, of course, in one of the previous steps. I agree with him that there are vanishingly few legitimate[1] use cases where a queueing system is the right solution.

More, but only ever so slightly, more frequently, a spool is called for, and that can be loosely simulated by a queue.

[1] This excludes situations of ones own making, such as designing a system that requires asynchronous but ordered execution in the first place.
