With respect to OP’s post, they say “you can’t even tell the computers we are on are 15x faster…”, and I reckon that quick resume etc, is an example of “you absolutely can tell that we now have extremely fast hardware” when compared to what came before, irrespective of the quality of the software.
I’m not disagreeing with you, I’m just picking apart the blanket “computers feel the same as they did a decade ago”. Some computers might feel the same, and a lot of software might be unoptimised, but there’s a good selection of examples where that’s not the case.
