Computers are too powerful. Any kind of horrendous slop is now capable of running acceptably.

Until it doesn't and you don't understand the code.

No one understands the code. It's far too complex and abstracted. In any case, just get another computer and/or toss in more code. There's 4TB of storage and 64GB of RAM, so what? You want a purple circle, that's going to take at least 55 library calls through dozens of languages.
