Good lord, man...

What's important in this equation - the computer, or the human? It sounds
like your main interest is optimisation for the computer... only.

I'll let you in on a little secret: Computers are boring, misshapen,
abstract tools, and it's the humans that make them fun and worthwhile. It's
humans behind the code you diss, the architectures that you pull apart, and
the wisdom and experience you seem to shrug off in your little outbursts.


Shut up and be humbled for a moment. *Then* "stand on the shoulders of
giants."
