Wirth's law

"Software is getting slower more rapidly than hardware becomes faster."
-- Niklaus Wirth (February 1995). "A Plea for Lean Software".

I think this is something we here on /prog/ can clearly see. Programmers keep making things more and more complex/bloated shit for no good reason. Almost nobody cares about lean, fast, responsive, optimized software. Sad times.

I fully agree with you, but such a thing is far-fetched and would need hundreds of people working full-time to accomplish.
In the meantime, I'm happy to have dwm instead of gnome, st instead of xterm, musl instead of glibc, sbase instead of coreutils, etc. It at least minimizes the harm to a certain degree.
