It's even more hilarious because all along there has been this complaint, and then people have been like "no no who cares, features are important, dev time is important, just ship ship ship". And now memory is unaffordable and it takes 1GB RAM to display a plaintext file
- scarab92 28d agoThe cost of producing memory IS low, and is continuing to fall. It makes zero sense to rebase your mental model of the tradeoff between RAM versus developer time because of a temporary shortage. In a few years time you’ll look silly for having wasted developer time on lowering BF memory consumption, while your built new features and waited for supply and demand to rebalance.
- ratmeadow 28d agoSure, and in the meantime, we become less efficient at doing legitimately useful tasks and more efficient at making rent seeking slop that collects money for the upper classes. The real fix is get rid of the 90% slop tech and put that to better use (including more efficient use of hardware)
