Almost everything you hear about multithreading is misguided nonsense, mostly propagated by people who don't know how to program and/or who use Javascript so they don't have control over the program, so they just throw asynchronous functions everywhere randomly and create nightmarish waterfall callback chains.

Usually the programmer benefits (by having an easier time in the short-term and requiring less skill) but your computer and coworkers and userbase pays the price, which is a good way to summarize most "modern" programming knowledge.
