It's wild to remember that I basically grew up with this type of software. I was there, when the MDI/SDI (Multi-Document Interface / Single-Document Interface) discussion was ongoing, and how much backlash the "Ribbon"-interface received. It also shows that writing documents hasn't really changed in the past 30 years. I wonder if that's a good or bad development.

With memory prices skyrocketing, I wonder if we will see a freeze in computer hardware requirements for software. Maybe it's time to optimize again.

Consumer laptops have been frozen on 8GB of RAM for a while already.

Yeah you can get machines which are higher specced easily enough, but they’re usually at the upper end of the average consumers budget.

Sadly Electron developers will be fired, and C++ and even Rust ones will be highly praised. QT5/6 will be king for tons of desktop software.

One can dream.

>>krzyk+aB
Ram shortages are not dreams.

>>anthk+S51
They're not permanent either.

>>anthk+S51
I think GP was dreaming about Electron developers being fired, not suggesting that RAM shortages weren't happening.

But perhaps I'm just projecting. Ugh, Electron.
