I'm sure my rose-tinted glasses memories of the olden days are entirely unfounded, but I've written code using a VT100 plugged into a VAX 11/780, and the first machine I had at home was an Osbourne 1, with a 4kHz Z80 processor and 64kb of ram (the top 4kb of which was the memory mapped video ram)... It seems the increase in utility we've got from being able to use teraflops of massively parallel GPU with Gigabytes of ram available - doesn't exactly match the 6 orders of magnitude or so more resource use... "It scrolls soooo smoothly, and you can use the poop emoji in your source code!!!" ;-) </old_man type='grumpy'>
