I concur. I did some cursory research the other day, and I noticed that most websites I visit (blogs, shopping sites etc.) now have total asset download sizes that are several times BIGGER than major enterprise software applications that I used to install on my PC 20 years ago. This is just for 'front end' stuff for the browser experience.
- smileysteve 10y agoThis is a strange metric because your phone also has 50x4 the processing power, 20x the ram, and 2g is significantly closer to the Internet connection you would have been lucky to have.

- cyberferret 10y agoThe disparity is that an ERP system that managed the customers, suppliers, production and employees of a multi million dollar business was a smaller executable than a single blog page nowadays that does nothing more than present information on a screen for someone to read. The ratio of computing power & code size versus the meaningful work done _with_ it seems to be out of kilter somewhat.
- DavidWanjiru 10y agoIt isn't strange, because what is being compared here is the utility of the website and the utility of the ERP. The amount of work (and, subjective though it is, the value of that work) done vis a vis the number of MBs each occupies.
