Is this true? I always think about what changed in computers. I mean with computers that are a million times faster than they used to be, you'd think latency should be gone for software based issues, but they're not. Firefox uses up more memory than some fucking OS's do. How/why is this? Why is software so bloated, and how do we undo it?
>how do we undo it?
Install gentoo
Because programmers are giving less fucks because the hardware is too good
It's like money, you won't think too much about using it if you have a lot

A combination of bloat, lazyness and ignorance towards retarded software architectures.

We don't. We lean back and watch this civilisation fall. Twice.
