I think the title should be "Attention is not multi-threaded", which I believe is pretty well known in psychology and where the expensiveness of context switching stems from.
- no_wizard 7y agoI wish more places and people understood this! I am of the opinion that this for instance might be the biggest singular reason nodejs has been successful without people even realizing it. Since “full stack” development is so in demand/popular this really limits the context overhead of switching languages and semantics between front end and back end in such a way that it can keep productivity high. (Yes nodejs has other strengths too and to be fair weaknesses but I wouldn’t discredit this as A much factor off hand at least)
