But then again, the N64 had a 93 mhz processor….

That always makes me want to punch someone for saying technology has “advanced.”

We did full 3d on a TV with a 93 mhz processor, yet every app or website I visit now is slow as shit on these octo-core monsters we carry in our pocket now.

It’s the web browser (and other things)

There is something ridiculous about how we turned a document browser into a virtual machine. The amount of bloat is carries is pretty bad.

I mean I’m not opposed to web technologies but I think this and the associated “anyone can code. Don’t worry about doing it right” thing.

This is speaking as someone super rusty at writing code that is currently writing horrid code.

Skills oxidize quickly in this field. What language are you in? Are you able to share the general domain you’re coding for?

I’m currently writing in JavaScript for a side project for something nostr adjacent.

I haven’t written code professionally for over a decade.

So my horrible code is just me getting back into things and also moving away from common JS to ES6 standard.
