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.

also suckless are a little too close to cat-v (e.g. one of their guys runs the site, they have some connections to that IRC channel) which is very offputting. But I don't mean to judge them..
cat-v is really disgusting though.
