Weakest Link

  • February 26, 2006
From my CS 4210 practice exam:
"You've graduated and gotten a programming job writing multithreaded programs. You walk past the office of a co-worker who is busy diagnosing performance problems in her code. You hear her muttering "A chain is only as strong as its weakest link" over and over. What multithreaded design pattern is she using? Why would she say what she said?"

Yeeeaaahhh...

ok, i can appreciate non-standard exam questions, but that one sounds a bit too cutesy for me.
