> why does everyone want computers to be faster when their sludgy brains are the weak point in the process? Because unless I program in PHP or Quarkus, half of the time my brain isn't the weak spot. Also, waiting for my computer to finish of what it is doing is an insane distraction. And stopping my brain from going on tangents while I'm waiting for Spring Boot or React or whatever, that is often an actual job (although I am good at it and have a lot of tricks). That said, I don't look for faster computers, I'm on plenty fast hardware. But I do get somewhat mad at Windows for making git (or even a plain - but well optimized - HelloWorld in C#) use several hundreds of milliseconds (!) to complete. So I use WSL now, but often I just install Linux so I don't have to deal with this enourmous waste. How everyone else lives happily with systems that routinely use hundreds of milliseconds extra many times an hour, that is something I can't really understand. Maybe it is easier to tolerate it if one hasn't experienced anything else? Edit: and don't get me started on modern web browsers and modern web applications, even modern web applications from what is supposedly the smartest people on this planet. It is amazing how a few of them can bog down my i7 - even if I haven't used them for a long time and even if they are all in background tabs.
