I’m guessing that we’ll see lots of news in 2026 about how companies are hiring developers to help improve the memory efficiency of their software because they just can’t get enough servers. Also, the servers they do get will have reduced RAM compared to what they wanted.
No, plenty of software already runs like shit and didn’t get optimised. Until people find “not running like shit” more of a selling point than “has new ai feature” commercial software will do the latter.
