Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

Exponential distributions come into play in various fields like queueing theory, control theory, and performance modeling. The "memoryless" property of the exponential distribution makes it useful for simulating systems involving events occurring independently at random intervals. This post explains how to simulate such events using the exponential distribution and provides an example of how to model a queuing system with code.
