Wirth's Law: Software is getting slower more rapidly than hardware is getting faster.
Despite exponential improvements in hardware, software often feels slower than it did years ago. This happens because:
- Frameworks add layers of abstraction
- Features get added without removing old ones
- "Good enough" performance becomes the standard
- Memory and CPU seem "free" so efficiency is ignoredThe solution isn't always faster hardware—sometimes it's writing more efficient software.
