Yeah the article felt intellectually honest and I enjoyed it, but was hoping for at least a footnote that multithreading is 1 solution. Async/await is another possible solution. There appears to be no shared state. But in fairness, python's state of multiprocessing, multithreading, and async/await just leaves too many options for a general language programmer to keep track of and perhaps it's just lack of knowing these things exist.

  Eh yes overlooked that but doesn't touch on async methods. I think there is an async postgres connector out there.
