Side note: I strongly prefer referring to this as the "1+N problem" as the author did here. I didn't understand what people were grousing about when they talked about "N+1".
N+1: You're already doing N queries. Is adding 1 more that big of a deal?
1+N: This should have been 1 query, but somehow you blew it up into that one plus N more.
I'd seen that query antipattern plenty of times and knew what it was bad, but didn't realize that's what people meant by "N+1", which I thought must mean something different.
