A creative analogy mapping Jeff Dean's classic latency numbers to dollar amounts, where $1 equals 1 nanosecond. The table scales from L1 cache ($1) through cross-Atlantic round trips ($150M) up to the time it takes to link a massive C++ binary (~16.6 minutes), which maps to $1 trillion — a nod to recent headlines about Elon Musk's net worth. The author also built an interactive scrollable visualization to make the scale tangible.
