Wirth's Law: Software get slower more rapidly than hardware becomes faster.
Not using more hardware resources than reasonable has stopped being a thing. A large section of software writers behave as if that the only purpose of the hardware is to run the app they wrote.
- tomphoolery 8y agoWith tools like containers, the software itself behaves as if the only purpose of the hardware is to run your application. Psychologically, it makes sense for a software developer to believe this.
- srean 8y agoI don't see how that follows. The context here was applications that run on phones. I think its intellectual laziness to blame it on containers.
