Even funnier, if you take most direct quotes from the PCGamer article [0] and concatenate them, Pangram (which is quite reliable) marks it as 100% AI-generated, and it does indeed read as AI-written. Someone in that Reddit thread remarked "I began watching his video and could not cope with him reading AI content from a teleprompter." as well.

If the system feels sick, if an app is hung, if the machine is gasping, Task Manager does not get to arrive fashionably late, staggering in under the weight of its dependencies.

It has to be there now, and it has to feel crisp. It has to look calm even when the rest of the system is not.

Once you spend your formative years on a machine where every instruction has to justify its existence like it's applying for a loan, you never fully recover from that. Every line has a cost. Every allocation leaves footprints. Every dependency is a roommate that eats your food and never pays rent.

I'm not here to say that modern engineers are just dumb because they're not. Their world is vastly more complicated now.

Old code, like Task Manager, has the opposite bias. Nothing got to tive in the hot path without a fight.
