Whenever I have to use an older phone to do anything. App and web developers seem to be in an arms race with moore's law to see if they can waste the extra resources faster than hardware manufacturers can provide them.
- kaba0 4y agoNote: they can. Moore’s law didn’t end in its original form (we do get more transistors per unit still), but the usual interpretation of “faster CPUs” are long gone. So hopefully stronger focus on performance will happen soon.
- _aavaa_ 4y agoBut why would stronger focus on performance happen? Is, e.g., Microsoft teams in danger of losing market share because of its horrible performance? Is product speed really a differentiator that affect’s people’s buying decision?
