It's incredibly refreshing to hear a developer say that, instead of the usual, "As a *developer*, I'm the most important part and my time is most valuable. So, my users should just go buy faster hardware."
In the mid 90s I co-invented & designed reconfigurable CPU systems. Our goal these days was to do real-time ray-tracing. So, we even said: just wait, we are going to make a faster hardware first. ;-)
Anyway, you statement is unfortunatly very true. It's the same idotic thing happening in every company: "I make my life easy and do things quick & dirty" without understanding that down the processes there are hundred of points where this stuff is used, and everyone needs to figure out the pitfalls over and over again... that's what I call very efficient thinking.
The software we sell, would still fit on one floppy disk (if there are still people knowing what it is). And I'm always saying: "Every good software fits on one floppy-disk." Most people can't believe that this is still possible.
