For everyday usage, it's pretty simple and can be traced back to a moment in time: computers without SSDs are not 'fast enough', computers with SSDs are. For programming, the 2 applications where computers aren't quite fast enough is compiling massive C++ projects and getting julia to first plot. I recently lept from having ~6 cores to having ~32 cores, and this has helped with the C++ but not really with julia - I think that's a programming issue.
