The tweet cites a google groups post [1]. The title was extracted out of this paragraph from that post:
On Plan 9, the rule tends to be: if feature(X) can't be implemented in
a way that works for everything, don't do it. No special cases
allowed; it's why mmap is discouraged. This has led to a system that
is quite uniform and a pleasure to use, albeit lower performing than
its competitors in many places.
