“Are you actually IO bound? Because I seriously doubt it.”

Can we please ban Twitter threads like this. For one they are incredibly hard to read. And secondly you need an account to read them if they are longer then a few tweets. Which this one is. Essentially making the content inaccessible.

&gt; Does you startup talk to a server on the Internet and need a handshake etc. that takes a while to complete? Cool. But not IO bound.<p>Do the kids these days really not consider network traffic to be IO? Is this some artifact of cloud computer where everything is the computer and IO ~= storage?
