yeah, you know what?... no. This is the kind of attitude that got us here to begin with. Yes, processers get faster, and yes size gets more available. But that shouldn't be an excuse for poorly-written code.
An empty Microsoft Word document is larger than the first word processing program I ever used. That is just crazy when you think about it. but "oh people have lots of resources they're not even using so it doesn't matter", right? When companies have this attitude of "oh the resources are there I may as well use all of them for myself" then their code runs like garbage and you need a faster computer just to make it work halfways decently. And because of this we all end up on this goddamned technology treadmill where we have to keep buying bigger and faster and more expensive computers to do the same thing the old computers did just because the programs written for it are too bloated and the people writing the code couldn't be arsed to make it work well. It wastes our time and our money. I reject that. I think others should too.
