Over the past few weeks I've been working on a clock that uses an Arduino and its crystal, taught so many things! Yet she manages to explain it in 2 minutes, with a perfect combination of understanding (of both physics and people no less), wit and humour. That is admirable. And she's right, more developers should be aware of their nanoseconds. Sure, not everything has to be written in C or Assembly. But whatever choices we make, they need to be justifiable throughout the surrounding system. > Capt.
