you would be surprised how much work a CPU under 100mhz can do when there isn’t an operating system/browser in the way

Latest cool thing I saw : Doom on my earbuds https://doombuds.com/ which IMHO demonstrate greatly how much more powerful so many tiny things around us really are.

    Yup. The problem was never the hardware. It's the stack. We're all carrying supercomputers in our pockets now.

    Feels like so many (dare I say most) programmers don't even understand the work that the OS does to make the C programming environment as nice as it currently is, let alone a 200 line TODO app that uses 6GB of RAM.
