Is there a shortage of polyglots?


However you slice it, unless you use a cross-platform system you’re going to write and test some code three times. Or four. Or five.

I love native apps, but it’s hardly a difficult choice to make for a business. Only nerds like us notice apps that use gigabytes of ram.

Spotify is on every platform and probably they wrote that interface once. That’s a gigantic win for everyone involved.


Not quite. Only nerds like us notice that apps use gigabytes of ram. Everyone notices when apps are slow, especially when the system goes to the page file.

8GB of ram is very typical being the base spec in most laptops today.
