[About the event loop]

> She's behind the scenes managing resources. Some power is explicitly granted to her, but a lot of her ability to get things done comes from the respect & cooperation of her subordinates.

What a wonderful paragraph. Playful, yet with a deep meaning. It makes the article a joy to read.

Enjoyed the read - thanks for sharing! Found a small typo here:

> For the service rate (λ), we can keep things simple and assume that our server can service 10 items per minute with zero variation.

I think it's supposed to be mu and not lambda
