Parkinson's law. Work inflates to occupy all available time. If computer hardware produces more compute time by cramming ever more clock cycles per second and running several in parallel, software workload just grows to occupy it all.
- Gigachad 3y agoProgram speed is like traffic. Build more lanes, and you will get more traffic. People will tolerate a 30 minute drive like they will tolerate a 1 second startup time. There is no point spending resources making it faster when users would rather something that is more reliable or has greater capabilities. As long as you keep it fast enough.
