On the other hand, in many cases the hardware people need to think about 
what the software people can do in terms of limiting the amount of 
additional hardware required outside the programmable chip, versus the room 
the programmer has for code to do fancy things inside the chip. So both 
programmers and hardware engineers have a certain need to think like each 
other.
