Ever wonder why old-school software just hits different? Hardware limitations back then didn't leave room for bloat—you had to make every byte count.



Today's devs? They lean on Moore's Law to paper over inefficient code. Throw more RAM at it, right?

That's exactly why legacy firms still run decades-old systems. Those tools were built when optimization wasn't optional—it was survival.

Seriously, developers these days are too lazy. They rely on throwing hardware at every problem, and their sense of aesthetics has been completely drained.

Nah, this is why the old systems are still running—because back then, you really had to write good code.

Seriously, the current codebase is piled up like a junkyard. Back in the day, those guys had to rely on real skills to survive.
