Understanding Hardware Bottlenecks: A Guide for New Developers

Hello CodeNewbie Community,

As we grow in our coding journeys, it's important to also grasp how hardware impacts our development process. A common challenge is the hardware bottleneck — where one part of your system (like your CPU, RAM, or GPU) holds back the performance of the rest. This can slow down testing, compiling, and running heavier applications.

New developers especially can benefit from understanding how their system performs under load, especially when working with IDEs, emulators, or multitasking during full-stack development. Identifying these performance limits can help you work more efficiently.

To help with this, I created a simple tool called my bottleneck calculator that checks where your system might be falling short. It can be a great starting point if you're planning upgrades or just want to optimize your setup.
