    I love to bash MS, but this feels like an industry-wide trend to /never/ care about optimizing beyond the bar of “typical specs of new devices in rich countries”. I’m guessing it’s just to limit labor costs, and computers are less-rapidly-improving than the 90s/00s?

      Code optimization has pretty much fallen by the way side since ram prices keep going down and cpu performance keeps improving.

      Why spend the time if you don’t have to?

      Browsers are some of the worst culprits.
