How do you know so much about swallows? Well, you have to know these things when you're a king, you know.

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Came across this reply from the .NET Junkie[^ and he puts forward a compelling argument for why we should focus on writing better synchronous code before we try to write asynchronous code.
"There are two ways of constructing a software design: One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies. The first method is far more difficult." - C.A.R. Hoare

I am totally in sync with him.

I can't read the article (the Thought Police doesn't allow me to see the Internet, only some sites) but I agree with the piece you reported.
Asynchronous code is necessary but it is tricky and requires a good understanding of the synchronous code. Otherwise you simply make mistakes on multiple threads contemporarily

About as tricky as cooking dinner, as long as you don't create a total mess.
As long as you have well defined areas where threads may overlap, keep those areas as small as possible, access those areas as sparingly as possible and use proper synchronization for every access, you are totally safe.

Quite tricky indeed, if you're not satisfied to just not poison yourself To cook an averagely tasting, looking and smelling dinner one should have a healthy dose of experience, think just how it is easy to burn onions or undercook eggs the first times, or to make overcooked pasta for example.
The menaing is just that: before starting to think to exotic dishes make some experience in cooking a simple carbonara (which ain't so simple for beginners by the way).

And then again, most people do it every day successfully.

Successfully as in "not poison", which is the equivalent of "it just works". And we're talking of grown-ups (=people with experience). If you take a person who never cooked or cooked very little you probably end up with a very bad dish (= software of poor quality).
That's the main point of what I'm saying: learn how to walk before attempting to run.

Sure. I just can't hear anymore what kind of new languages and tools we need to solve this or that problem. So my version is: Learn how to walk before running off to the next new thing, only to discover that it still can't replace experience and some effort.

Yes, but they will be the women. The failures will be the men. Being a mere male, all my attempts to cook are quickly taken over by my better half and I am banished from the kitchen.

I don't know what we may need or not need, but I'm going to take another shot at writing my own UI. This time I'm going to use something that Mickeysoft can't pull away from under my feet, like OpenGL. Anyway, it's not going to get very far without letting I/O, message queues, rendering, data access and the actual applications run in separate threads.

Yes, I once posted some small video clips. I will try to find them.

I found one video, but it shows more of the graphics. The only UI object visible is the small menu in the upper left corner and it's not used here. I think there was another one, but I will have to look.
For now, it's more graphics and animation: Video #1[^]
Edit:
Here is another one. The resolution was reduced to a low value so that the text at least remained readable: Video #2[^]
