The number of books and articles about the quality of software engineering published in the past 25 years certainly seems to prove we care a great deal about code quality. Probably more than we ever did prior to 1995 when Pascal, BASIC, FORTAN, COBOL, and self-modifying assembly code were being taught in colleges. As for the point of the article, that hardware doesn't accelerate as fast as programs using it, same challenge: prove it. This article is all handwaving and speculation with no data to support any of its claims.
