At work we just got a quote to upgrade a couple servers, original price a few years ago was ~ $150k. Essentially the same hardware, just newer, is now quoted at ~ $450k.
We decided to just keep our current hardware for now and extend a support contract for ~ normal price.
- pilgrim0 6mo agoI wonder how long these shortages have to last until software developers are required to be mindful of RAM usage like in the decades before,
- zx8080 6mo agoProbably not. AI code generation will not allow to use memory efficiently.
- Fabricio20 6mo agoQuite the opposite i'd wager. Now that AI can figure everything out we can have the AIs do the performance work. Performance work alot of the times also went against developer experience in terms of languages/patterns and such. AI doesn't need to care about DevEx which might also show a shift towards more memory efficient languages and patterns. Only time will tell though.
