<< The idea that using underpowered computer makes you write some faster or better software etc. is just silly. I will admit that I would rather someone with more experience commented on this rather than me. That said, I disagree on general principle. When you are restrained ( sometimes severely restrained ) by the environment, the net result is that you use resources a lot more efficiently. I absolutely get that we are kinda spoiled now with crazy hardware that is basically a supercomputer from not so long ago and it is hard to let that convenience and power go, but that lends to the bloated software landscape we have today that manages to overuse just about every resource available. With limited power, you are effectively forced to write better. It is not completely unlike training with weights. It is not silly. It produces real results.
