Only a tiny minority of professional programmers have a clear picture in their minds of how fast modern computers are. 99.9% have next to no idea. How does this affect software that is even conceived? (Ignoring, for a moment, what is actually built, which we know is very slow).

Mostly loved the talk, but I feel that this argument that web companies have X employees but their product doesn't improve doesn't say much about developer productivity. Take PyTorch, for example. A lot of work went into it at Facebook but that is not evident to consumers.

How many things are people working on that don t pan out ? Maybe the productivity of people designing the Twitter web experience is approaching zero. Maybe the twitter managers are incompetent and make the programmers write things that never get used. Lots of confounding vars
