I'm still proud of my shell sort implementation in 10 or 12 68K instructions. I was young, so it felt like a huge achievement. :-) That and helping a couple of demo coders shave an instruction or two from core loops.
These days I yell at people because they build Docker images that take up several Gigabytes...
Yeah. I've yelled at frontend devs recently cos their node.js webserver with hardly anything on it took 1.2GB. For one thing they've got 300MB of Material Design icons there, wtf?!
I love that I don't have to use the vertical blank interval to do processing, but fuck me if we've not gone the other way, programming is lazy nowadays.
I really wish it wasn't so lazy these days. Computers getting faster shouldn't excuse to use less and less performant programming practices. But then from my experience in the field thus far this opinion seems to be in the minority.
