As domeone coming straight out of college, I disagree with your premise that threading is not accessible anymore. However, one possibility is that a proliferation of new languages brought with them new threading models and runtimes that all behave slightly differently. This makes many of the models look foreign.

Nothing demonstrates why threading can sometimes be black magic better than someone misinterpreting a one sentence, plain English post :)

I read the GP's post as implying that it is not actually that hard. But maybe they did mean that it has changed over time and gotten much more difficult and they're legit asking when that happened?!#

Imagine this level of simple misunderstanding but applied to reading someone else's threading code!
