Oh I’d agree, the blog post about coffee was somewhat tongue-in-cheek. One shouldn’t presume it’s fast enough, one should always measure. And your points echo Abrash... if a human is waiting for the computer, then the computer could be made faster. That includes any and all human-computer interactions and workflows. Recalling a bit more now, the actual point of the blog post I was thinking of, and not summarizing super accurately, was to try to make things faster to prevent the artists from getting out of their seat, precisely because the tool it was referring to was primarily a feedback loop interaction. The tool in question was the PDI lighting tool “Light”, which received an Academy award a few years back. https://www.oscars.org/sci-tech/ceremonies/2013 https://www.oscars.org/sci-tech/ceremonies/2013
