        // Example of common mistakes when using Executors
        ExecutorService executor = Executors.newFixedThreadPool(2); // Good practice
        
        // Common Mistake: Not shutting down the ExecutorService
        // executor.shutdown(); // Should be called to terminate
        
        // Common Mistake: Creating too many threads
        // ExecutorService executorTooMany = Executors.newCachedThreadPool(); // May cause resource exhaustion
        
        // Common Mistake: Not handling exceptions within tasks
        executor.submit(() -> {
            try {
                // Task logic that may throw an exception
            } catch (Exception e) {
                // Ignoring the exception
            }
        });
        
        // Always ensure proper exception handling and shutdown for Executors
