1 year agoMulti-threaded programming is hard. You can’t just write some code and expect it to work across 4 cores, you need to know what to parallelise and how to do it. If you think normal bugs are hard to fix, just wait until you have a calculation that gives a different answer each time you run it thanks to race conditions.
Plus, the more entwined threads is with the rest of the fediverse, the harder it’ll be for them to break off. Users will be following Mastodon accounts and posting in Lemmy communities and if Meta does something to break that, they’re the ones that’ll get the backlash, not the fediverse. We’ll just continue along as normal.
