But what is his main grievance? He talks about how systems aren't designed anymore, they're just built from SoCs off commodity parts. So hardware isn't as reusible across generations, but hardware is cheap so who cares? Cheap solves lots of problems in the end. Compilation is cheap. VMs are cheap. Containers are cheap. All kinds of abstractions to let 99.99999% of people ignore the problems he talks about are cheap. What problem can bespoke computers solve that can't be solved by enough cheap computers?
