In my experience faster hardware leads to worse software. I'm doing the same things I've always done on my "smart" phone but apparently the same sized text messages now need more phone. Good god, ICQ from 2000 had more user facing features than texting apps and that was running on Windows-swap-everything-unconditially.
Yeah, much software development time is spent on invisible "features" that aren't relevant to the poor bastards that will have to use it. It makes the case for the more vertical in-house software development. There's much less push back to specialized features which often aren't nearly as specialized as the outside developer thinks it is because of absent understanding of the job fortified by arrogance.
But even when the job is well understood... display fucking words on the screen... I mean, come on! Why am I ever waiting 3 seconds after unlock for that?
