My problem with Moore's law or the other things that pass for Moore's

should it be our aspiration to write such bloated and sloppy
applications that we need this horsepower just to keep the same apparent
performance?
Hold on! These "wasteful" apps are giving you benefits as well.
Easier languages, better UIs, etc.
Indeed. Apps now include so much functionality that the apparent
performance has actually decreased in spite of beefier hardware.
