A developer has laid out the case that a birth chart is a purely deterministic calculation: the same birth time and place always produce the same result, with no data or randomness involved. That makes the job ideal for local computation, and the argument is that a smartphone is a better astrology computer than a remote server, removing latency, cost and privacy concerns.
Why now: The argument that simple deterministic calculations belong on-device rather than in the cloud resonates with developers debating app architecture.
