“Law” of computer performance. Essentially states that software is getting slower faster than hardware is getting faster.
Any performance gains in hardware is wiped out immediately by performance losses in software.
The inevitable reality: software is slow. Hardware can’t keep up.
I think this is a really interesting idea. Especially since you can do many things in hardware but they’re done in software instead. And systems software but done in higher-level languages instead. Continuous abstractions.
Another big problem is that website complexity has not scaled as fast as bandwidth connections, so people with poor Internet connections (which is much of the world) cannot access many pages.
