Parallel Computing Is An Addiction

Multi-threading leaves you looking rough around the edges—classic race conditions and deadlocks will do that. SIMD hits even harder with those vectorization headaches. CUDA cores? You're barely holding it together after debugging memory transfers between host and device. But Tensor cores? You're grinning like an idiot because your matrix multiplications just became absurdly fast and you finally feel alive again.

Each level of parallel computing optimization takes a piece of your soul, but the performance gains are too good to quit. You start with simple threading, then you're chasing SIMD instructions, next thing you know you're writing CUDA kernels at 2 AM, and before long you're restructuring everything for tensor operations. The descent into madness has never been so well-optimized.
