  • Pace layers are about how quickly that layer changes, not how quickly it executes.
    • Sometimes the slowest pace layers are the fastest at execution.
      • The fact it's so consistent makes it easier to have an accurate mental model, which means fewer prediction errors, which means it's easier to go faster without crashing.
    • For example, chips are a very low pace layer compared to apps.
      • Apps have to interact with humans, and go at human speed.
      • Chips can go at full computer speed.
