๐Ÿ’ฏ the issue is also catering to normies / reverting to the mean/dumb user. We need to get back to not giving a **** about normies and "user experience". Let's make software as efficient as possible. Back in the day when memory and processer were limited devs were forced to prioritize efficiency. Moore's law bred a culture of laziness and normies using software diluted things especially with VCs holding the purse strings to fund devs. Man I dream of a world where Bitcoin price appreciates just to think of all the based devs who will become independently wealthy and will finally be able to work on projects they are passionate about to be used by people like them.

Do you think Mooreโ€™s law is dead?

No, I think programmers got too complacent decades ago

Stop using Javascript

Why? ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿค”

It's slow

No, itโ€™s not. Data to show it? Slow for what? Which JS engine? So many questions. ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿซก

Alternatives for web?

Make C++ great again

This! ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿซ‚๐Ÿ’œ

C++ has sucked since it was โ€œc-with-classesโ€.

Bullish on Zig

Too much cool shit to play with ?

Someone shared this article here on nostr recently, it makes a similar point...

I canโ€™t agree more. Most programmers are suckers.

Dem stimme ich zu 100% zu! Es wiederspricht auch meiner Philosophie Software zu entwickeln, das ist der Grund warum ich #Voptop in C++ schreibe. Allerdings sehe ich auch ein das es Software gibt, bei der Performance nicht an erster Stelle steht.

As James Mickens once said, we should never have told kids that programming was the future. Instead tell them painting is the future!

Why this makes so much sense?
