Stop Doing Multithreaded Programming

STOP DOING MULTITHREADED PROGRAMMING • Computers were meant to do one thing at a time • Want to compute things faster? Just increase clock speed "Hey computer can you print Hello World?" Wlo rloHEld ?????? They have played us for absolute fools

A black text-based programming meme argues that computers should only do one thing at a time and that faster computation merely requires increasing clock speed. When asked to print “Hello World,” multithreading scrambles the output into “Wlo rloHEld,” parodying the distrust of concurrent programming and the feeling that computers have deceived humanity.
