  1. I have 20 years of development and still watching that kind of videos from time to time. Mostly to see how things are explained. Yet, I realized that one of my software is not accounting for starvation of the slowest processes! And the even funnier thing is that I did implement process priority...So, one process can flag itself as being high priority to be guaranteed the next slot. And now that I think about it...I in fact inadvertently did indeed allow slower process to not be starved as they can enter in the queue while the fast process is executing. And this is why watching entry level CS video IS still a good thing even for seniors ^^ Not only learning how to explain things, but also small reminder to think about some cases that can be overlooked.
