So much software is too slow today. I don't think developers remember that users will not perceive your software as instant if you don't get the result in 100ms.

I cancelled my evernote subscription because it is too slow to start up. If I need to access a note on my phone, I don't want it to take perceived time, because then I have to go through the effort of remembering what I am trying to write.

I have switched to Apple notes, which seem to get this.

At two large tech companies I worked for, people loved to throw around the term “blink of an eye!” to justify anything around 100ms

“Oh, that’ll load in the blink of an eye! Only as much latency as the blink of an eye!” etc

It was damn frustrating to try and explain to these clowns that things look like crap if you pile up 2+ blinks of an eye on top of them. In the case of VR, even one “blink of an eye” is about 10x too much delay
