>what chance do the rest of us have?

A huge and very easy opportunity. Current software is not just unoptimized, it is antioptimized to the neck. Any idiot could do far better than current "state of the art" if he is raised with prioritizing the correct things and understanding useless layers and crap for what it is.

That’s been true for a long time, though. A steady progression since the dawn of computing. If there really is a golden opportunity for somebody to sweep in with vastly faster software, why has nobody done this yet? (Or have they?)
