I’m not talking about skill, knowledge, or convincing a world focused on radical acceleration that optimization is necessary. Performance optimization is hard because it’s fundamentally a brute-force task, and there’s nothing you can do about it.
This post is a bit of a rant on my frustrations with code optimization. I’ll also try to give actionable advice, which I hope enchants your experience.
Yeah I’ve noticed a rise in electron apps. Just because it is technically cross platform doesn’t make something efficient. In a lot of cases, devs and large enterprises would be better off simply rewriting code from scratch in Kotlin, Flutter, etc., if performance is the name of the game.
If you want performance you’ll surely won’t go with cross platform. The more general something is the less efficient it is.
Precisely, but I mean in terms of developer hours. Long term, apps that are developed natively for their target platform are much easier to extend and maintain.
