Thanks for the reply, I appreciate it.

I'll admit to still not quite understanding the queue part in concrete terms, I'll go back and read the article fully, but it still sounds like a queue is a series of small tasks which are added together?



Yea. I’m using his terminology but a queue here is just like a queue anywhere else in programming. Its an ordered list of work to be done. Really not any different from a backlog.

He’s using queue more specifically because he’s also referencing Queuing Theory so it keeps the terminology consistent.
