If only this would be an incentive for people to stop using electron for everything and start making memory efficient software again.
Yep, for way too long it was cheaper to buy more memory than to pay for good developers.
You don’t have to use electron crapps.
That depends on your job.
That is a problem for my employer rather than me.
Also depends on your job. There are enough jobs where you’ll just get fired for refusing to use the assigned tools.
And the result of those shit tools is their problem.
Right, but now you’re moving the goalposts. Before you said we don’t have to use them.
I don’t use them, work me uses them and I am getting paid in that case so who cares that it’s terrible
It’s quickly becoming a “the best time to build a pc was 2 years ago, the second best time is now” situation.
I wonder how it will compare over time, will the overall performance you can get per hour of labour in wages go up or down?
If a high end PC costs twice as much, wages only go up 50%, but high end PCs are twice as powerful. You are still getting more performance for your work. But if performance and wages barely change while costs rise significantly, now performance for labour has actually dropped. Generally more interested in how it compares over longer time frames rather than month to month spikes.
He’s probably right. Inflation will likely catch up and the prices won’t go down in any significant manner. We ran into this years before the RAMpocalypse, while searching for a sub-200€ GPU, or trying to build a sub-500€ entry level gaming pc.
I used to upgrads when I didn’t need to, now I’ll wait twice as long, not a big deal, still sucks, but it’s not like I’m buying at the same rate, company is getting less money from me overall.
