It's The Law

Moore's Law—the sacred prophecy that transistor density would double every two years—has been the tech industry's comfort blanket since 1965. But now? The universe has BETRAYED us. Physics decided to show up to the party and ruin everything with its "laws of thermodynamics" and "quantum tunneling limitations." Programmers everywhere are having a full-blown existential crisis because they can no longer rely on hardware magically getting faster to compensate for their bloated code. The sheer AUDACITY of reality refusing to keep up with our demands for infinite performance improvements! Now we actually have to *gasp* optimize our code and write efficient algorithms instead of just waiting two years for Intel to save us. The horror. The absolute tragedy of it all.
