Now I Have Two Problems

The classic developer trap: "I'll just use threads to solve this!" Fast forward 10 minutes and you're debugging race conditions, deadlocks, and wondering why your CPU is on fire. It's like trying to fix a leaky pipe with a flamethrower—technically you've solved the original problem, but now your house is burning down. Multithreading: turning one straightforward problem into an exciting collection of non-deterministic nightmares since the dawn of computing.

Threads Were The Wrong Choice

The classic "let me solve this with threads" syndrome that haunts our industry. It's like watching someone try to untangle Christmas lights by adding more Christmas lights to the mix. Multithreading: the only programming solution that multiplies your problems with mathematical precision. One problem becomes two, then four, then eight—exponential regret growth! The worst part? That smug "I know!" moment before everything falls apart. It's the computational equivalent of saying "hold my beer" right before attempting a backflip off a roof.
