It's frankly amazing how slow a lot of everyday stuff is given how damn fast modern hardware is.
It sure seems like modern hardware's speed is wasted on making things slightly easier for devs, rather than speed or performance increases for users huh. If 29 layers of abstraction saves a little dev time over 5 layers, that's fine, but it feels like it creates this unnecessary requirement to use <5y old hardware to run things smoothly
From electron instances everywhere, to the niche suckless philosophy, so much of software seems to be programmer-first. Truly missing the forest for the trees.
