I am really fascinated by the fact that a computer with 1000x faster processor and 100x more memory than 20 years ago can still feel slower, because of ads, bloatware, lazy programming -- it seems to capture the strengths and weaknesses of humanity in a nutshell

I think it's mostly a matter of another kind of economics, basically what "we" pay for. If we keep promoting half-baked whipped-together-in-an-afternoon with "its ok for a chat client to use 1G ram per group I am on", then we end up where we are now, even if it could be less.

The tricky thing is, the things that make half-baked software possible also make programming accessible to more people. “Whipped-together-in-an-afternoon” can lead to “Making products for an underserved group” or “Democratized innovation”.
