You're taking deep quaffs of the Kool-Aid and so are most of the people commenting on this story. General software responsiveness and reliability (i.e., usefulness) has been in decline for decades. This is an objective fact.
Writing objective reality off as mere "milliseconds", "edge-cases", or only relevant for "toy problems" exemplifies the arrogance and severe incompetence of most programmers. People are seriously trying to talk down to Casey Muratori when in all likelihood they haven't accomplished even 1% as much as him as programmers.
I get it—no one wants to leave fantasy-land as long as the easy money is flowing. But sooner or later the glittering carriage turns back into a pumpkin.
