I agree with you, I see this happening across multiple sectors of tech. I think its a combination of factors including the cheapness of memory, languages becoming more and more robust at handling themselves, compilers doing a lot of the “optimization” for software devs, and possibly many more. Either way, unless these “light transistors” and all that new tech really take off and see some improvement in their fragility these companies are going to have to git gud so to speak and actually make efficient programs again as our current tech begins to reach a limit. At one point we won’t be able to squeeze more nm into cpus and we’ll have to think about what our programs use again. Anyway thats my 2 cents, I’m a complete noob compared to you career wise but I’ve been in love with computers my whole life.
