No matter how fast CPUs get, shitty programmers and their managers with enshitification strategies will make software slow again.
What new features does windows 11 have compared to win XP? Now compare the requirements needed to even start the OS.
Web is even worse... 2kB of usable information means tens of megabytes of downloaded crap, and that's even before the ads. Why does a simple site with a sidebar need megabytes of javascript?!
- nevermore24 2y agoYou can only optimize at your current level of abstraction. Writing JavaScript? Have fun, there's a floor to your performance, because you're on the 28th floor of the abstraction skyscraper, and you can only go up. Part of the issue is that developers don't know any better, the other part is that everyone suddenly decided that four virtual machines crammed inside each other like a matryoshka doll is the only valid way to write software anymore.
- redox99 2y agoJS by itself isn't that bad. You could calculate pi digits reasonably fast using JS. The problem usually is: really poor code that is blocking, triggers a million rerenders for every interaction, insane bloat, or just the absolute massive amount of abstractions through packages. Plus HTML + CSS is really slow.
