there's been almost twenty years of work on optimizing javascript engines with JIT and complex heuristic-based GC and a wealth of feature-rich profiling and analysis tools and validation and testing frameworks for deployment and integration and syntax improvements and functional and higher-order primitives and serverside transpiled code. and it's all enabled some amazing new stuff, for example github now takes 10 seconds to display a plain text file, and you cant search properly anymore

@jk yeah but also now my Scheme code goes brrrrr so who's to say if it's bad or not

@jk also we've got hardware running at billions of cycles per second, and to compensate for this incredible feat we make software with features such as taking five seconds to start up, hogging 1 GB of memory to display some messages and using half your available graphics compute for a spinny arrow icon

@jk well when your azure request needs to check your linkedin profile first before sharding the node packages based on your clearance level before letting you github, what'd you think was micro computer software in this scenario?

@jk github's file preview ha Two (2) horizontal scroll bars for some ungodly reason and ever since it started being this way scrolling it horizontally on mobile firefox makes it choppy

@jk
before the internet, many people carried around a little pocket notebook

and of course, there were lots of brick and mortar stationary stores taht sold same

and the thing is, the dozens of notebooks for sale had very little true variety, so

many people made their own little notebook, dissatisfied with all the commercial offerings

I think that is a similar story
