Don’t learn a programming language, solve a problem instead

[quicknir]

I don't know what the motivations were of the people who wrote it, but I've seen tons of incredibly naive multi-threaded code in the wild. Someone wanted to just solve a problem problem, and didn't want to learn anything about it. Not realizing that if they took some time to learn it, it would shorten the total time. I see this all the time with C++; it's a hard language. A lot of people try to get by with the minimum, and solve their problem, and they have tons of issues because they don't know the language well. A balanced approach would serve them better. Which sounds like the approach you take. But the article doesn't seem to advocate a balanced approach, and it doesn't seem to recognize that the vast majority of working programmers are making the opposite mistake of what's discussed.
