Imagine a world where electronic components come to life, and they're all connected in ways that will make your mind spin. Welcome to the fascinating realm of digital logic simulation! In this blog post, I'll take you on a journey through the configuration files that bring these components to life. You'll learn about the various components, their configurations, and how they're connected using wires. We'll explore examples like the Power component, which is simply a power source with an optional label, and the JKFlipFlop component, which has some extra parameters to make it more interesting. We'll also delve into the world of wires, where connections between components are made in complex ways. Whether you're a seasoned electronics enthusiast or just starting to explore digital logic simulation, this post is for you. So, grab your favorite snack, get comfortable, and let's dive into the wonderful world of configuration files!

I spent weeks optimizing a JavaScript program running on my NVMe SSD with 2.4 billion records, and I finally found out what was slowing it down - me! In a nutshell, I discovered that benchmarking others' code or taking shortcuts can lead to false optimizations. By doing my own benchmarks, controlling the environment (temperature), and prioritizing readability over speed, I achieved significant performance improvements. Don't trust others' claims; do your own benchmarks.
