Back in the nineties, I advocated for “build on the most powerful system, test and improve on the least”.
I think it’s still relevant.
The idea of course is as developers, we need the best equipment to make the work bearable and more efficient, but the users rarely have that luxury. Make it work well on the least powerful reasonably representative equipment.
It’s easy to think your work is done on the dev box, but have a disaster in the real world.

I admire your optimism. I hope it is so.

Bruh it’s literally how tech advances…
When resources (compute power) is cheap, there’s huge leaps in tech. When resources are scarce, the fat gets trimmed.
It’s not optimism, it’s pattern recognition.

when have we seen gaming resources become more scarce?
