It's wild to remember that I basically grew up with this type of software. I was there, when the MDI/SDI (Multi-Document Interface / Single-Document Interface) discussion was ongoing, and how much backlash the "Ribbon"-interface received. It also shows that writing documents hasn't really changed in the past 30 years. I wonder if that's a good or bad development.
With memory prices skyrocketing, I wonder if we will see a freeze in computer hardware requirements for software. Maybe it's time to optimize again.

- anthk 8mo agoSadly Electron developers will be fired, and C++ and even Rust ones will be highly praised. QT5/6 will be king for tons of desktop software.

- anthk 8mo agoRam shortages are not dreams.
- arcanemachiner 8mo agoThey're not permanent either.

- kelnos 8mo agoI think GP was dreaming about Electron developers being fired, not suggesting that RAM shortages weren't happening. But perhaps I'm just projecting. Ugh, Electron.
