Sometimes, it's the little tech annoyances that sting the most (arstechnica.com)

And all I got was this lousy embedded player (dayvonjersen.com)
Ever since launching in March 2024, I’ve often referred to working on the project as “rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic”. Well after a year of full-time work in a Michelin starred kitchen and completely ignoring anything to do with the site I can tell you with confidence that the Titanic is now firmly resting on the bottom of the ocean.

I Waited 10B Cycles and All I Got Was This Loading Screen (preyneyv.dev)
Modern hardware is unbelievably fast. The M1 Max that I’m writing this article on runs at 3.2GHz. That is 3.2 BILLION clock cycles per second. Yet, Microsoft Teams takes 3 seconds to open a link, and I refuse to believe it takes 9.6 BILLION clock cycles to open a link. Obviously, that’s an over-simplification, but the point stands: how is it that hardware gets faster, but the applications we use only get slower?
