This was another good episode, but I always get frustrated with the weird ontology of self-perceived low-level programmers who think the only "real" thing is assembly language as written in the 80s and distainfully dismiss high-level programming concepts as mere "abstractions"https://twitter.com/adamgordonbell/status/1366373423832838149 …

This is why we routinely have modern software that is literally thousands of times slower than the underlying machine is capable of. It is simply due to people using extraordinarily expensive combinations of second-class concepts they have not evaluated.

The situation is especially difficult because some second-class concepts can safely be used in some circumstances, and not in others, but most programmers today don't have the knowledge necessary to correctly make that decision.
