Moore's law is a software engineer's best friend: it allows us to write ever-more complex software with the assurance that, at some point in the future, it'll actually run at a decent speed :-) What does it mean for software engineers to try to outrace hardware engineers and Moore’s Law [or why would they try to do so] ?
