I sometimes use multithreading, but never mutexes. Mutex can be harmless
if there's only one. Otherwise better use select()/poll() or you'll
waste time or even dead-lock. It's amazing how the old select() paradigm
is so much better than the modern mutex. I see mutex as an invention to
relieve the programmer from thinking.
