Software development is a layering of abstractions over time. How's your assembly?


How's your Electron app's performance?

It's very concerning when software developers neglect that their tools (abstractions) have tradeoffs.

"If civil engineers built bridges the way software engineers build applications, the bridges would all fall down in a month".

And similar sentiments. Granted, most things aren't mission-critical, but then just because my house won't collapse doesn't mean I want to waste money on poor insulation and broken appliances.
