I don't say software has gotten slower (probably > it has), but hardware didn't compensate it so far. I agree (except that software has demonstrably gotten slower compared to hardware performance) see the following Quora answer I wrote under my pen name: https://www.quora.com/How-is-Moores-Law-relevant-to-programmers-computer-science/answer/Marcas-Neal (Summary software development practices have the result of giving a inverse Moore's Law on software). -- Aryeh M.
