Alternatively there's a problem with being "really in the weeds" of any problem in that you fail to poke your head up to understand other paradigms and how they interact.

I live in very different weeds, and I read the linked article and went "Oh, yeah, duh, it's racing on the io-uring buffer". And tried to explain that as a paradigm collision (because it is). And I guess that tries the patience of people who think hard about async[1] but never about concurrency and parallelism.

[1] A name that drives systems geeks like me bananas because everything in an async programming solution IS SYNCHRONOUS in the way we understand the word!
