What is the point of doing a .join() on a daemon process? If you’re waiting for that thread to finish before you handoff control to the main thread, then you could’ve just made that thread non-daemon right?

Which would suggest you would only want to spin up daemon thread for tasks that you don’t need to be atomic.
