I miss those days from early to mid 2000s when compute was still somewhat of a scarce commodity and developers had to understand and learn the whole stack incl. the hardware side to squeeze the most out of it. #ai #enshittification
Devs would write code that forced them to think about every byte of memory allocation. Those were the golden days before the enshittification of the internet. Lesson : More doesn’t always compute to good (in terms of quality)
