The only direct quote from DHH in the article seems to be this, which is quoted as being offensive (?): > “First-world problems” shouldn’t be seen as an insult, but a celebration! Hurraaaay, I have ascended from the daily toils and tribu

Understanding and implementing this algorithm was very rewarding. While Lamport didn't win a specific award for the problem itself, his work on it, and related concepts in distributed computing, earned him the prestigious A.M. Turing A

Cool article! > On my M2 MacBook, the renderer process is now using 6% CPU (down from 15%), and the GPU process is now using 6% CPU and less than 1% GPU (down from 25% and 20%). This still feels way too much compute for a tiny animation
