I was hoping there’s be more in this article showing just how to avoid the use of a clock rather than an almost religious rant espousing the fact that clockless hardware is better. I’m sure it probably is, but I’m far more interested in why.
Yeah, that ending was weird and uncalled for, I actually didn’t see that last sentence until you pointed it out. I was hoping this would spark discussion, though I agree the tone of the source leaves something to be desired.
