Alright folks, gather round and let me tell you the story of (almost) the biggest engineering disaster I’ve ever had the misfortune of being involved in. It’s a tale of politics, architecture and the sunk cost fallacy [I’m drinking an Aberlour Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch]

Sharing an excerpt from an email I just sent to a student. He wrote to me saying he's been having difficulties converting better/winning positions and feeling pressure to "force" the issue. Thought my response might be of value to some of you #chess improvers out there 💪

In @dotnet, the Task-based API places the responsibility on you, the coder, to ensure that you don't hold up the thread (eg by using Task.Result, or any of the things that @davidfowl's awesome async guidelines mention).
