>technology becomes ten times faster>it only leads to running 9001 times slower python and java apps vibe coded by talentless web devs effectively making everything run slower than beforeWhat went wrong?
>>108344729nested abstractions
>>108344729>technology becomes ten times fasteralready wrong
it's crazy to think how how efficient things were or how inefficient they are nowlike just opening up a youtube page now uses more ram than my computers had in total up until 2006 (just the tab itself)>>108344824he didn't specify a timeframe so i'm not sure how he can possibly be "wrong"my current cpu is 10x faster than the one i had as late as 2017
Many programmers are trash but users also want more and more shiny features.
>>108344845>he didn't specify a timeframeThe use of "vibe code" specifies a timeframe
>>108344861lmao
>>108344729surely it's not because modern software has a lot more functionality than it used to
>>108345263for the most part, not really. if anything there has been a trend to reduce the number of user-facing features in software over time
>>108344729good times create weak menSoftware, mostly proprietary, is too comfortable with how Moore's Law works on hardware, so they write bad programs without worrying about performanceopen source software does not have this problem
>>108345263Yeah it might be a worse user experience with less functionality and fewer buttons but at least it pings NSA and Israel after every keystroke. THAT'S what's important for progress.
>>108345282>if anything there has been a trend to reduce the number of user-facing features in software over timesuch as?
>>108344861It only sets a lower bound for its length. The "before" he refers to could be the 80s
