I’m a lot more optimistic now that RAM is scarce. A lot of focus will be on maximizing software performance.

See: iOS 27. It’s faster than the previous version, even on very old phones.

I also think AI will contribute to removing a lot of the tedium surrounding optimization.

People these days are saying “don’t look at the code”.

People are shipping all sorts of weird architectures, non-performance code, etc.

I wish that the ram scarcity would drive more performant software however I just think that the way people are shipping software currently will not lead to this

Is iOS 27 particularly impressive, or was iOS 26 a shitheap? Maybe a bit of both.

It fucking better be faster, iOS 26 basically bricked my iPhone SE, which had never been the slightest bit laggy or glitchy before that cursed update.
