DHH tweet quoted in the article: You don't sit around thinking "oh, browsing the web is slow on my decked-out iMac", but then you browse with the M1, and you're like, DAMN, I can actually feel that +50%.
I wish I could feel excited about this, but my first thought is that web developers probably have a huge wish list of things they're ready to unleash to eat up that 50%. I was expecting to get a nice 5-7 year lifetime from my early 2020 Macbook Pro. Maybe I should revise my expectations, especially if more and more desktop apps are going to be built on web technology.
