Developers struggle to identify and revive obsolete computing techniques that modern hardware could now make practical
Software engineers and computer scientists lack a systematic way to discover forgotten or abandoned computing approaches that were previously impractical due to hardware limitations, but could now be viable with modern processors and AI-assisted development. Current resources don't bridge the gap between historical computing knowledge and contemporary capabilities, forcing developers to either reinvent solutions or miss opportunities to apply proven techniques to modern problems.

I mean both things that are enabled by AI coding agents but also things we couldn't do because computers weren't fast enough in the past....
