Years ago I was working on an architecture where multiple threads were processing data in parallel. But there were dependencies. I spent several weeks trying to figure out how to coordinate these processes. That is until someone suggested I design it so no coordination is needed at all. It was a good lesson learned. I was trying to solve a problem that shouldn't have been solved in the first place. It taught me to ask the question often: do I need this at all?
