When, precisely, did programmers stop caring about efficiency? Why is everything in the modern tech stack so bloated and inefficient? It's so funny to me that modern AI is the most wasteful thing we've invented and it's not even good at what it does. It goes against everything I know as a programmer.
- ahofmann 2y agoIt went this way since the beginning of time. When I started writing PHP 3 scripts, I was told that PHP is a massive waste of CPU cycles and resources and is inherently bad. PHP pays my bills since almost two decades and in this time computers got faster and faster. I'm with you, AI is a massive waste of energy. But so is everything else that came before it.
