To solve such problems, you need people as old school, creative and passionate as the most hardcore programmers who prefer working with limited hardware, like Raspberry Pis and Rockchip ARM level of RISC-V CPUs.

I love working with ARM hardware. As a matter of fact, TankieReplyBot runs entirely off of one Raspberry Pi where it consumes almost no resources and actually utilizes all the CPU cores. Most of the services I run are on Raspberry Pis and other ARM SBCs. It turns out that when you don’t use unnecessary abstraction to get programs finished a few weeks early, you can actually do a lot with so-called “weak” hardware. Who would’ve thought? At this point, when I see Python/JS bloatware, I just ignore it and look for alternatives, or make an alternative if there isn’t one and I feel like it.
