There's no reason for software to be slow anymore
- The other day, I saw a viral tweet saying that people talking about how LLMs are causing slow, bloated, code are going to eat crow once they re-write everything in super-optimized assembly.
- We're not quite at the point where we want to write everything in assembly, but some variant of what Nolan Lawson said about testing, you can choose how many bugs you want now, which I less eloquently noted here, is becoming more true for performance.
- In response to a comment in my last post that the cost of formerly specialized performance work has dropped by many orders of magnitude and performance work t
