Hardware Engineers Watching Software Engineers

Text on the meme

Software engineers: it's just too expensive to optimize our code, also computers will be faster anyway in a few years Hardware engineers:

What it means

A red-haired puppet character stares blankly in a two-panel image beneath captions contrasting software and hardware engineers. The joke is that software engineers justify inefficient code because future computers will be faster, while hardware engineers react with stunned disbelief because they understand the cost and limits of computer hardware.
