- brazzy 7y agoThat is sensible, but I've also heard people basically call any code that is not micro-optimized wasteful and harp on about how back in the day it was second nature for programmers to care about bytes and cycles in every line of code they wrote, and modern day programmers are just lazy and incompetent.
- carlmr 7y agoYeah, I get where you're coming from. There's as always a sweet spot between the two extremes. But needing a new computer for running Word or Excel smoothly just seems like there's a lot of low hanging fruit left.
