Honestly, web development has been exponentially worse than any other field of software development I have exposure to, including games. 90% of the time when I open task manager to figure out why things are so slow the answer is some Chrome tab. gMail is actually the culprit a shocking amount of the time. According to Chrome, my gMail tab is using more memory than Slack and Outlook combined and is an order of magnitude less responsive and reliable than either of those apps from my experience.

- yummypaint 5y agoAbsolutely, the bloat has grown far faster among web apps. A modern VR game with many GB of assets handling vastly more difficult computations at super low latency can often still fit in 8GB of memory. It's mind blowing that trivial tasks like editing a google sheet document have come to consume even remotely comparable resources. Google sheets as it existed 8 years ago was snappier and more responsive while using far less memory. There seems to be more competition among games than "productivity" software when it comes to performance. It begs the question of how bad things will continue to become before it starts affecting the bottom line.
