No, we can't get gigabit fiber everywhere. No, I don't care if your program needs it. Yes, the laws of physics are laws for a reason. Write more robust code.

Write more robust code.

Sure, I could read a book about best practices and Big O...but...What if we just table the idea for a few iterations of Moore's Law instead?

and Big O

It's asymptotic. Slower O doesn't mean faster program.

wat.

When I say Big O, I'm talking about the slick jazzy anime about rejecting true love and living with heartbreak because we believe a lie about our own superiority. This is always true, no matter what the discussion context. If I happen to say anything remotely relevant to mathematical Big O, that is just a deeply weird coincidence.

Oh! You meant Moore's Law is asymptotic!?

Yes! That is key to the joke I was making.

Gigabit fiber? You're in some posh spot but needs to downgrade for some reason, right?
