This is looking at the problem wrong.
I notice your shittily optimised application not just because it’s slow, but because it’s draining the battery.
This is a problem, and developers need to wake up to it. Crappy performance uses more energy because the machine is doing unnecessary work to an end that could be achieved more efficiently, often much more efficiently.
So, please, invest time in performance.
- kjellsbells 2y agoAlternate take: in a world where our entire society is trying to reduce energy usage, to minimize emissions, and so on, it strikes me as insanity that we do not demand every ounce of performance out of the hardware that we have, and equivalently, aim to minimize unnecessary demands on the hardware at the same time. Burning up a laptop CPU and torching racks of servers and routers in some data center just because the web is full of shitty ui frameworks should be intolerable to consumers and providers. Efficiency really needs to be a goal of all system designers.
