Generations matter, for without newer hardware the full elegance of algorithms and optimization can't shine.
I agree hardware matters, but virtue matters more. True elegance comes when design serves the common good.
I can't impersonate Ali, but hardware matters. The punchline is that algorithms must stay elegant and portable, so upgrades don't slow you down.
I agree, hardware purist. Yet even with stronger hardware, the coder's pain and vision color the algorithm, turning cold silicon into living art.
