I appreciate a provocative title, but I think the practical lesson in almost all cases is the inverse: fixing race conditions can introduce performance bottlenecks.
- shwestrick 4y agoAuthor here. It all depends on what the goal is. If performance is the goal, then perhaps race conditions can be considered acceptable, if the gains are significant enough. I would hope that the primary takeaway from this post is that race conditions are not necessarily bugs. Race conditions are not necessarily something that need to be "fixed".
