Two Hundred Milliseconds

I'm sorry did you say TWO HUNDRED MILLISECONDS?! that being said, if you're not working in a performance critical area, the V8 engine in JavaScript is miraculously fast

A dark-mode social media screenshot shows a shocked reaction to the phrase “two hundred milliseconds,” quoting a technical discussion about JavaScript’s V8 engine. The joke exaggerates how intolerably slow 200 milliseconds can sound to performance-focused programmers, even though V8 is generally very fast. It is used as a reaction to tiny delays or obsessive optimization.
