> The programmer didn’t follow basic, well known development practices. Multithreaded programs seem harder or more complex to write because two or more concurrent threads working incorrectly make a much bigger mess a whole lot faster than a single thread can. Actually, I prefer to think that the reason multi-threaded programs are harder to write is because it's harder to compose components together. If I have a regular old function and another regular old function and compose them, I get a regular old function and I know that it works how I expect it. With two multi-threaded functions, then I have no guarantees anymore. If I cannot take simple components and combine them into more complex ones, how am I suppose to write correct code? Sorry, but I'm just not good enough.
