[haswell]

The issue I have with comments like this one is the one-dimensional notion of value described as "productivity gains" for a single person.

There are many things in this world that could be fairly described as "more productive" or "faster" than the norm, yet few people would argue that it makes those things a net benefit. You can lie and cheat your way to success, and that tends to be successful too. There are good reasons society frowns on this.

To me, focusing only on "I'm more productive" while ignoring the systemic and societal factors impacted by that "productivity" is completely missing the forest for the trees.

The fact that you further feel that there isn't even a point in engaging on the topic is disturbing considering those ignored factors.
