Same app in US takes 2 secs to refresh (too long), but 20 secs in India, due to bad batchingverbose comms. Actually useful data transferred is low. 157 17 238 190 Popeska Popeska 2h The batching is done server-side where the initial client request doesn't matter - GraphQL resolves the request across the microservices and then sends it back.

This meme is peak programmer time travel fantasy! It's portraying the classic "wake up from a coma" trope where our modern dev suddenly finds himself in the golden age of computing (70s/80s) with two Unix beard legends telling him all his 2023 AI anxiety was just a bad dream. ChatGPT? Devin AI? Job losses? Nope, none of that exists - instead, let's do something actually meaningful like rewriting Unix in C! The irony is delicious - modern devs romanticizing an era of limited computing power, punch cards, and no Stack Overflow as somehow more "pure" than our current AI-assisted coding hellscape. Nothing says programmer nostalgia like yearning for a time when debugging meant actual physical switches and you had to wait overnight for your code to compile.
