Someone comes to you saying they need a website. You say "absolutely ... clearly you need one!". So you build it.
The decision to pay you however comes from some 3rd party who says "denied". Now the customer keeps their site and you don't get paid.
Will you stay in this coding business?
The real solution is a public health system. Which has issues (apply queuing theory, because you will have to wait for the limited resources you are niw denied) overall it is better though since it can in theory be optimized as a whole.
I think a 3 monthly submission to HN saying "Ask HN: who is looking to meet up" where the comments are used to meet but it is a bit of an ad for your site."
Get a nod from the mod before proceeding though!
Maybe an in memory cache hit---that you explicitly code---causes a sync resolve to happen, woohoo!
But if it goes to IO and you are waiting for the event loop to schedule you back in you could be in for a shock even if the IO op is tiny. Especially doing it alot.
Only matters probably on a high CPU usage server which hopefully you avoid by scaling up on cpu and using all the cores.
On the other hand... you are being cooperative :)
But tight loop IO is an antipattern ... as is doing a lot---millions---of IO ops from node (per request or job) that you need to worry about this (use a different language for your DB server!).
IED airbags, HIV injections, babies without limbs, etc. are industry malfesance.
So the phrase implies:
No acts of corporate greed including profiting by killing people could ever excuse murder.
