1. technically reasonable
2. may have a probability of occurring
3. its probability of occurring is lower than your probability of running out of money.
I’ve noticed that corner case comments are directly proportional to the intelligence of the people in the room. The smarter the team the more objections you’ll have – and they’ll all be technically and theoretically possible.

EM-Proxy is a barebones proxy implemented with Ruby EventMachine which uses the reactor pattern for handling network connections. The performance overhead in the simplest proxy implementation is roughly 3-5% in the latency – a very low cost for the added functionality.
