Comment on Maybe the RAM shortage will make software less bloated?
pirateKaiser@sh.itjust.works 1 week agoDon’t blame programmers, they are (generally) nerds who would spend more time optimising than developing if allowed. The problem is companies want speed in development, that’s why you get electron apps- you build it once and deploy on web, mobile and desktop. Who cares if they hog GBs of RAM

Exactly. Unless the CEO’s machine struggles with the app (or the top tier customer keeps nagging), optimizing anything gets pushed down the backlog. Sure, let’s create a followup ticket. And then cancel it in a year or two. If it runs, it runs. Good enough.
