When you create virtual memory to abstract away physical memory fragmentation, but then realize that abstraction just made memory lookups slower, so you add a TLB (Translation Lookaside Buffer) to cache the address translations. It's basically putting a band-aid on your band-aid. The medieval peasant calling out the circular logic is *chef's kiss* because yeah, you created a problem and then "solved" it by adding more complexity. This is systems programming in a nutshell—every solution spawns a new problem that requires another clever workaround. Twenty years in and I'm still not sure if we're geniuses or just really good at justifying our own mess.
