Very very good. I feel like I've definitely been around some expert beginners (one place I contracted had their own connection pooling library and I never found out why they didn't just use Apache's). Article had some good advice on avoiding the trap, but not a lot on fixing it once ingrained, other than "more on". Therefore, non-technical folks should beware.


Excellent article. Definitely can see this in the industry as well as in myself.
