Hasn't this been best practices since Grace "Light has a speed limit" Hopper? May she rest in power.

Grace “Light has a speed limit” Hopper

I'll have you know that googling this phrase results in a link to this post, which makes the origin of this phrase no more clear.

Can you explain please?

Remove the quotation marks and the first result is https://kottke.org/19/05/grace-hopper-explains-a-nanosecond

More accurate is "electricity has a speed limit"
