Isn't there some computer science hypothesis (or whatever) about how the more complex computers get the more inefficient they must get as well?
Yeah, the average PC probably has 5 separate installations of Chrome, for different apps
Fuck electron, all my homies hate electron
Here here. Cool username btw.
Computers haven't become less efficient. They can still crunch numbers like crazy.
It's the software. Why spend a month making something when you can just download some framework that does what you want in one hour. Sure, it used 10 times as much memory and CPU, but that's still only a 1 second delay with a modern computer and the deadline for release is approaching fast.
Repeat that process often enough and you have a ridiculously bloated mess of layers upon layers of software. Just for fun you can start up some old software and play around with it in an emulator to be baffled how quick it all works on a modern system.
