I'm enjoying the irony of the comments section being primarily occupied by people who don't get the message while simultaneously being AI maximalists. Leslie Lamport's entire point is that developing abstract reasoning skills

This is a very well written article that drives home the difference between smooth application responsiveness and numbers like bandwidth that are useless by themselves. I've shared this article with non-IT people who read it and had a
