The evolution of programming efficiency is hilariously tragic. In 1975, Chad programmers hand-optimized machine code to squeeze games into kilobytes. By 2000, we'd accepted some bloat for productivity with high-level languages. Fast forward to 2025, and we've got "programmers" creating calculator apps that consume 1GB of RAM because they've stuffed 69 frameworks into an Electron wrapper. Meanwhile, they're busy impressing AI girlfriends while Microsoft casually commits open-source theft. We went from calculating trajectories to the moon on 4KB of RAM to needing 16GB just to run VS Code without crashing. Progress™
