I keep finding myself wondering… now that it’s becoming clear that most people are going to be priced out of regular electronic device upgrades for years, and the ones that do exist are likely to be much more RAM-constrained then before, are apps/websites going to have to be much more well-optimized than they have been for the past decade or so?

@misty firmware engineer here. my employer has long considered our niche to be low-ram-usage networking, and there is definitely an air of "yesssss, they'll come around"
@misty I've had this thought too, but I think they won't, and everything is just going to suck more to use. This will especially be the case as more devs are giving up their autonomy to LLMs.
@misty yup. Already preparing for it.
@misty lmao, we can only hope, right?
@swiftyshq Yeah, hopefully? Haha
