I've worked at companies where buying more computers was more affordable than developers, and I've also been at places where it's the opposite.

I sometimes see blog posts lamenting how inconsistent UIs are in modern apps.

I love how the CommonMark Spec has a test suite that's just a JSON array. It's really easy to test a library for compliance, and I've seen developers nerd-sniped into full compliance.
