I’m a lot more optimistic now that RAM is scarce. A lot of focus will be on maximizing software performance. See: iOS 27. It’s faster than the previous version

I’m a lot more optimistic now that RAM is scarce. A lot of focus will be on maximizing software performance.
See: iOS 27. It’s faster than the previous version, even on very old phones.
I also think AI will contribute to removing a lot of the tedium surrounding optimization.
- champagnepapi 2mo agoPeople these days are saying “don’t look at the code”. People are shipping all sorts of weird architectures, non-performance code, etc. I wish that the ram scarcity would drive more performant software however I just think that the way people are shipping software currently will not lead to this

- champagnepapi 2mo agoI'm not saying that folks weren't doing that prior to generative AI! I'm saying that the rate at which this is being done is much greater than before.
- wlesieutre 2mo agoIs iOS 27 particularly impressive, or was iOS 26 a shitheap? Maybe a bit of both.
- senderista 2mo agoIt fucking better be faster, iOS 26 basically bricked my iPhone SE, which had never been the slightest bit laggy or glitchy before that cursed update.
