## What Jamie wrote

Loved this read and taking a moment to think hard about memory space and what we are doing with all the bits in these amazing devices we have today. Most of the time programmers today rarely even think about memory. It is just there and we can use it without thought. However, when you need to scan and iterate over data the mere size of the data can impact performance in a huge way. Here, bit operators become so much more effective.

This is kind of like quantum mechanics, where at very small scales, all the rules change.
