Brilliant and so true:
New programmers are drawn to multithreading like moths to flame, with similar results.
Edit: And this is just one example on how tiny little details can impact threading so much.

The Wiert Corner - irregular stream of stuff

Threading is *so* hard, Delphi still doesn’t have it for dbexpress.
They claim it’s doable, but if you try doing SQL queries from multiple threads, it’s Blowup City, Arizona, sooner or later, usually sooner.

Does each thread have its own connection?

After 10 years I do not find it hard as long as they are my own threads. There I know how to work with them and everything is fine.
But if I am faced with a framework like Indy it is hard ’cause I don’t know how it should be done there.

So true: that’s why I try to limit the number of (other) frameworks in my code, especially in multi-threaded code.

many years ago Danny said in the interview that making multithreaded programming easy to a mainstream programmer is the next “name of the game”… That was a good few years ago:-)

Yes, goodness forbid people try new cool stuff.
Best way to learn is to try stuff and learn what does and doesn’t work. (imho)
