The linked article is about the behavior of Linux pipes and how they can lead to buffering issues. It explains that pipes have a limited buffer size, and if data is written to the pipe faster than it can be read, the pipe will get "stuck" and start buffering, leading to performance problems. The article discusses the causes of this issue, such as slow consumers or producers, and provides strategies to mitigate the problem, such as using a larger pipe buffer size or implementing flow control.
