Occasionally I see videos of people rapidly doing things, like doing work, sorting stuff, chopping/building/crafting things, using calculators/devices, and I realized one thing is absent there
Computers. Anything that runs a full operating system.
Why?
Because they SUCK, developers all massively assume that it's okay for an animation to take sometimes even SECONDS, that it's fine to not preload things because "humans aReN't fAsT eNoUgH", etc.
We need more programs that aren't SLOW as dogshit
I should say it's not even specifically developers, it's just a broad assumption in the industry that people want things "fancy", that animations and loading and switching and so forth can take longer than .5 seconds because "people don't notice".
Every company developing apps only thinks about themselves and the OS they interact with, at most they'll include some share function, but OS-native theming? Multitasking performance?
The result is a slow piece of shit, that looks like a circus tent🎪
@anthropy fancy doesn't have to be slow if you're not obsessive about doing work with as few devs as possible and keep a real UX team
but nah instead of quality they would rather have layoffs
