But we must clarify what "cost" means here (and the relevant costs are all ultimately economic costs), because this can explain the contours of why software is written the way it is. We also should clarify "utility". Economically, something like memory is in the vicinity of 10 orders of magnitude cheaper today relative to 1970 (a). Similar things can be said about processors. This means the incentive to invest costly engineering resources (b) into…
