Our capabilities are growing faster than our problems, writes Avery Pennarun on the Tailscale blog. Over the last twenty years, compute is 200,000x faster, web servers are at least 100x, we can put 12TB of RAM into a server, hard drives are 100x bigger and last longer, and the c10k problem is now the c10000k problem.

It’s the kind of thinking that injects optimism into one’s day, and I wonder if we’re doing enough to keep up with it.
