Ok then. Steering away from Redditisms, let's make this into a deep reflection upon the state of modern application software that's consuming hardware resources faster than hardware can improve. We have these incredible CPUs yet our machines offer barely the same experience they did twenty years ago and even succeed in getting strictly worse as in Teams case. The newer the software, the more wasteful implementation we get, our performance budget spilled and absorbed by layers upon layers of abstractions. Of all this immense computing power, I can only feel the difference when compiling stuff and other specialized activities.
