This is a submission for DEV Computer Science Challenge v24.06.12: One Byte Explainer.
A 64-bit system is like a highway, while a 32-bit system is like a bypass road.
A 64-bit system allows more data to be transmitted simultaneously, resulting in improved overall speed and performance.
A 64-bit system can handle more data at once than 32-bit, like using 64 fingers instead of 32, hence the analogy of a Highway with multiple lanes and Bypass road with 2 lanes.
Join Lazar for a hands-on session where you’ll build it, break it, debug it, and fix it. You’ll set up Sentry, track errors, use Session Replay and Tracing, and leverage some good ol’ AI to find and fix issues fast.

Nice explanation!
cool stuff
Great one
Simple and cool
