Nobody designs async things anymore, because they are much harder to validate, partly because there is no async equivalent of all the tooling used to validate synchronous logic. The final product might be better, but if it takes 3 years longer to ship because validation is harder, there is no room for it in the market. (Because the synchronous competitor has already shipped their next version on a better process node by the time you get yours out.)
- jiggawatts 3y agoMaybe that was a valid rule of thumb for decades that everyone internalised as a hard rule… but recent process changes haven’t delivered anywhere near the giant leaps that they used to. Maybe now it would be worth revisiting, especially since we can throw so much computer power at validation!
