Take for example opening processes instead of threads. How would you make that more strict? Spin up a VM each time? Is MySQL wrong in using threads?

  Strict vs. permissive has little bearing on this question, but it still isn't a valid problem on Uber's part as it's trivially solved by connection pooling.

    "Trivially solved by <doing some work> instead of not having to do anything if you used MySQL" is precisely the ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ answer that's just a snarky way to ignore constructive criticism.

      Is it constructive criticism? Doesn't seem like it to me. It's absurd to suggest that ~20 lines of code in a system of hundreds of thousands of lines amounts to a valid criticism. Only in a world in which all else was equal between Postgres and MySQL would this even remotely be plausible as a criticism. We don't live in that world.

        What 20 lines of code, and what has the amount to do with whether the criticism is constructive or not, and valid or invalid? "Doing things this other way would serve us better, for this reason" is constructive criticism by definition. Non-constructive would be "doing things the way you do them is stupid". Responding with ¯\_(ツ)_/¯, with "don't write any bugs lol", or with "just do extra work" is ignoring feedback.
