This is actually what pisses me off with modern tech, we have soo much computing power that we have forgotten to properly optimize.
What used to be a software problem, writing code efficiently has turned into a hardware problem, with only one solution:
Throw more computing power at it.
Developers slowly realizing that RAM and CPU cycles aren’t forever getting cheaper.
wirths law (I think?) in effect
The SUVs of software, basically.
Just buy more RAM, bro!
RAM prices skyrocket 1000%
Just sell your house to buy more RAM, bro!
