- rahen 3y agoWhat the hardware gives, the developer takes away. Developers will get computers 30% faster, then release 30% slower software, in a never ending cycle. Right now, an M1 is pretty fast, but wait until all developers use it and it starts to become barely adequate. Rephrasing Wirth's law: It takes slow hardware to develop fast software.
