Perhaps while your application is small and does not serve high loads, it may matter far less. But as your application’s traffic load increases, working with the wrong I/O model can get you into a world of hurt.

Being alone in a plane at 15 made it clear what it takes to stay alive in any context. I’m drawn back to my first time flying a plane at the age of 15. My dad, a pilot himself, believed I was ready to solo. We were on Cat Island in the out-island Bahamas. Cutlass Bay has a short dirt runway with a hill at one end and a lagoon at the other making it a dangerous place to practice, but it was my moment.
