System Design: Concurrency is NOT parallelism.

"In system design, it is important to understand the difference between concurrency and parallelism.

When designing small systems, you don't really have to care very much about this and mistakes won't cost you too much. In the age of Ai however, every software designer should know this for better efficiency.

As Rob Pyke(one of the creators of GoLang) stated: Concurrency is about dealing with lots of things at once. Parallelism is about doing lots of things at once."" This distinction emphasizes that concurrency is more about the design of a program, while parallelism is about the execution. "
