I disagree.
The ideal application:
- uses no memory
- uses no disk space
- is instant
- costs nothing
- and has all the features in the world
- presented in a manner that automatically shows the user only the exact features (s)he cares about
The real-world application, when the developers work for the customer and not for themselves:
- uses almost no memory
- uses almost no disk space
- is extremely fast
- costs next to nothing
- and has almost all the features in the world
- presented in a manner that automatically shows the user only the exact features (s)he cares about
- johnday 8y agoBut developers do work for themselves...
- fb03 8y agoI disagree. Sadly, we need to balance features, performance and expectations with our own expectations about what kind of software we want to deliver. I sincerely hate Electron and the whole ecosystem of bloated apps it enables BUT having matured a bit i can understand why it exists. People that hold the money want software out and want it fast and they don't care if the customer now needs almost 4 gigs of ram in their phone just to play music or browse the odd website. A depressing state of affairs imho, specially for us "old folks" which enjoyed our software native and optimized as much as we could.
