>The field is too in love with horribly inefficient frameworks. Writing network code and protocols is now considered too low level for people. Many are too caught up it what is tech-cool. They're like the holistic medicine practitioners of software and they don't even know it.
While the frameworks themselves are made for a particular purpose, they are often misused. One great example would be electron. I found an electron clone of Keepass. Now why would anybody want that.
And you find people justifying Huge bloated electron apps that take a minimum of 50 MB for a simple Hello World. And then they say memory is cheap.
I say memory is cheap for 1 app at that size. Not running all apps at that size. If busybox can run GNU coreutils with a size less an MB then why can't they make more efficient apps?
Beats me.
