# Wirth's law
Wirth's law states that software becomes slower more quickly than hardware gets faster. It is named
after computer scientist [Niklaus Wirth](niklaus_wirth.md) who first stated it in his 1995 article
*A Plea for Lean Software*. It is considered as a software-related specialization of the Jevons paradox.
