I Stopped Using LOCKS in My Code and the Outcome Was Surprising

As a seasoned software engineer and CTO, I've always been driven to write scalable code that can handle high traffic and large datasets. However, I realized that my reliance on locks in my code was actually hindering performance and scalability. So, I decided to take a bold step and remove locks from my code altogether. The outcome was surprising, to say the least. In this video, I share my insights and experiences on adopting lock-free programming, and how it has improved the performance and scalability of my software. Whether you're a seasoned developer or just starting out, this video will give you a fresh perspective on writing scalable solutions that can handle the demands of modern applications. Tune in to learn more about the benefits of lock-free programming and how it can take your software engineering skills to the next level.
