    Yep, unrealistic expectations.

    Or “you need a 12th gen i7 to run this thing”… the thing is a glorified Avidemux.

      Christ, if you could see the abysmal efficiency of business tier SQL code being churned out in the Lowest Bidder mines overseas…

      Using a few terrabytes of memory and a stack of processors as high as my knee so they can recreate Excel in a badly rendered .aspx page built in 2003.

        We have a table with literally three columns. One is an id, another a filename and a third a path. Guess which one was picked as the primary key?

        Never seen something so stupid in 28 years of computing. Including my studies.

          Oh yeah, I love people who stick SQL lookups in a For Loop. Even better, the coder who puts conditional if (but no then/else) clauses around a dozen raw text execution commands that fire in sequence. So you’re making six distinct lookups per iteration rather than answering your question in a single query and referencing the results from memory.
