  • Yes and no. I did build several in-house enterprise applications and for this I know about this problem. And yes you’re right, a lot of the complicated contexts are more complex than searching on Google.

    But! Enterprise software architects have a tendency to make every feature as visible, and also making the apps as feature rich as possible. This comes with high costs.

    I always try to establish a strive with exactly what google delivers.

    Cage the user in his first decision, Filter or action and then show him or her the application with all the features feasible in the chosen context. It is amazing how complexity reduced most of these applications are when you just ask this first question.

    Imagine a webser or proxy and for every incoming request it creates an new thread 💣

    Yes you’re right if it’s a second or third thread it is/may be fine. But if you’re i/o bound and your application has to manage quite a lot of that stuff in parallel, there is no way around delegating that workload to the kernel’s event loop. Async/Await is just a very convenient abstraction of that Ressource.
