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.

Find something you like on http://git.suckless.org/ and check out the TODO file.
Or write good software following the philosophy and ask for it to be added there so others can benefit and help you out with development. That's what many do.
Also check the latest conference for some nice talks: http://suckless.org/conference/
The best IRC channels are #2f30 on freenode and #suckless on oftc.
