That’s a particularly pretentious response to a reply that was subjectively factually correct.
Though expect it’s difficult to hear what’s actually being said with your head tilted so far back.
edit : I’m not the person to which you were responding, in case that wasn’t clear
I mostly agree, but there is a tradeoff here between effort and resource usage
Do you spend the extra x months dev time to go from 800Mb to 200Mb?
how about another x months to go from 200MB to 100MB?
100MB -> 80Mb? 80Mb -> 67Mb ?
and that’s only memory footprint, not performance, test coverage, infrastructure etc.
We’ve swung way in to the “800Mb binary ?, meh, they all have RAM to spare” (looking at you specifically fucking electron shells) and i fully agree we should be way more on the side of resource usage optimisation.
Optimising for deadlines and effort costs is also a consideration, if we don’t acknowledge and address that as part of the conversation, it’ll be seen as gold-plating or “perfect is the enemy of good”.
If multiple people are continuing to miss a point you think you’ve made, perhaps consider if you’ve properly communicated your point before moving directly to pretentiousness.
The best orientation for capturing sound the ear canal is to keep the ear straight from lobe to tip. (across the pitch axis at least, that’s the rotation that enables nodding).
As you pitch forward or backward you start to capture less and less of the sound across the plane the brain expects sound to be coming from.
If you have your head pitched backwards by~ 70-90 degrees (as if you were looking directly down your nose at someone in front of you) you will struggle to hear/understand what is being said, especially from directly in front of you.
Perhaps there’s a metaphor in there somewhere, maybe even tree related, as that seems to be the theme.
Good luck with your imaginary forest.
