Tbh, thanks to Wirth's Law there's a lot of unoptimized code out there. With the squeeze on hardware there's incentive for developers to actually give a shit about making their software run well so they can maintain/build their userbase.

Don't get me wrong, the current hardware situation is bullshit, but there's ways to minimize its impact on consumers

    That's only if companies still allowed people to hand code. Everything is cuck coded slopware nowadays

    Thanks. I didn't know that had a name.

    I hate wasting resources. The service i work on processes millions of transactions a month on a $14 AWS instance with spare capacity. Did I need to do that? No. But wherever we have performance issues I like to fix it before scaling the instance up. It was on the $7 instance for a while but 1GB memory wasn't quite cutting it.
