Don't say such evil things.
Spend half my days being frustrated by corporate software. .net software that runs on a modern i7 ultrabook with SSD. Doesn't do anything wild (mostly buttons & menus)...yet its bloody slow. HOW???
The button calls into a recently developed micro-service, that calls into a previous-generation SOAP webservice, that sends a message to the enterprise service bus, that then goes to netweaver middleware, that calls into the SAP R/3 backend that has been there since 1992 but was recently upgraded to use an even more expensive database.
Of course, the button has to wait for the response of all this, and blocks the UI while waiting...
I miss WinForms.
A friend showed me the industry-standard database app used to manage most Internet-connected second-hand bookshops (I think).
Its development decisions went something like:
"Hey, let's be sooooo awesome and update the search results live, as you type! Wow, without even a one-second delay this is SO REALTIME - like we're in 2187"
(later)
"Do we need to index the database? ...eh, nah. I don't think our custom database solution even supports indexing. Kay."
In my friend's case the store he's at has tens of thousands of books.
Cue perpetual SSD replacements by all the shops using this software
My approach to using it (when my friend and I were discussing it while I visited) was to hit Win+R to obtain a text box, type my search string, then ^C/ESC/^V it over. The database app would lock up for about 1.2 seconds per keypress.
