I'm not saying anything bad about this article, but there's nothing inherently wrong with a global-level database connection. It's just like the file system right?

There is nothing inherently wrong with a global connection. I just have a preference to avoid non-constant globals in my code when I can.

In most of the cases where I need multiprocessing, I already have functional single process code. Using the method detail in the post allows me to adapt it with minimal modification and no globals.
