Why is it that as hardware for computers continues to advance the software keeps going backwards?
All the simplest shit that should have already been solved a long fucking time ago continues to fuck up and to get slower, buggier, and shittier all around.
So much stuff we could do very adequately years ago on much older computers with far less resources today we can't seem to do despite the very powerful hardware.
Browsers, file managers, and so much more is all fucking shit.
Did all the competent white male programmers get executed and replaced with women and pajeets or what?
Remember when you could automatically automate repetitive tasks with the hypervisor? Good times.

Why hire expensive competent programmers to do it, when you can just hire a bunch of pajeets and women for a combination of cheap labor and political points? Modern hardware can run the software anyway no matter how retarded the developer is after all. Plus making good software takes more time.
Performance is extremely difficult to "see", you can tell when something is slow but when everything is slow and laggy and nothing really works very well, it just seems like that's the way things are rather than all individual pieces of software being badly made. Plus it's hard to tell when something could be faster or if it just has to take time to load or process something.
Also, when you have big frameworks and engines to do everything, nobody bothers to do that thing themselves even if the existing frameworks are bloated pieces of shit.
There's also the fact that very high level languages and abstractions are being popularized because it makes things "easier", so nobody really has any idea what's happening under the hood, they think in terms of abstract objects and "things" rather than in terms of data in memory, and probably have no idea for example that the processor itself is ridiculously fast while memory access is not thus can't make the right decisions.

You're not alone in noticing! There's a mentality problem affecting software devs. Simply put, a lack of craftsmanship, and lack of rewards for craftsmanship and high quality. "Get it done fast, because in a few months it'll be obsolete anyway."
While hardware devs work hard to make hardware as fast, efficient and yet as cheap as possible, software devs be like:
It also doesn't help that nowadays software isn't thought of a tool that does something for the user as fast and efficiently as possible, but rather a way to milk the user out of personal information and turn him into a spreadsheet.

It's the difference between windows and archlinux. You hand two identical computers to a normalfag with the only difference being one has arch and the other winblows 10. They will say the arch one was very fast and the windows one slow every time.
You tell them to install it themselves, and they will look at you like you were speeking another language.

Is this a scenario you imagined in your daydream?
I don't know what installing linux has to do with this topic.
Dominic Perez
Back to your retarded echo chamber. "White" (whatever the hell that's supposed to mean) males are still the vast majority of programmers out there.
Jacob Parker
It was to point out he uses Arch Linux. Please acknowledge that.
