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

@anthropy this is because people doing things fast in an automated way using a computer is not very clickbaity.

@lizzard nothing wrong with automation! But I also think that user interfaces are far slower than they could be, if we actually cared

@anthropy I suppose the trend towards web based interfaces hasn't helped there.

@lizzard definitely, especially the layers and layers of javascript between every interaction and actually state changes, I've made fairly responsive websites, but if you stack 10 different frameworks and insert things like animations under every click, things are going to get slower very quickly haha
