I always like to think of the fact that space agencies went to the moon on like 2KB of ram, but in 2022 we need 4 GB of ram to run a chat window.
I always liked the saying “just because I have the RAM doesn’t mean it’s for you!”
“But nowdays is cheaper” it’s a lazy excuse to not do any proper optimization.
That article that @IngrownMink4@lemmy.ml linked is so good. At the bottom of it, they state: “All you web devs should learn C or Rust. Your program runs on a computer. Learn how to code for one.”
