Surprised not to see any mention of the global memory supply shock. Would love to learn more about how that economic is shifting software priorities toward memory allocation for the first time in my (relatively young) career
While it may seem directly related, it's just not. These things are worked on regardless of how cheap or expensive RAM is, because optimizing memory footprint pretty much always leads to fewer machines leased, which is a worthwhile goal even for smaller shops.
That's useful to know, thank you.
There’s been shocks at hyperscaler scale, ex. this got yuge at Google for a couple years before ChatGPT
