Programmer Number Influence Memory Consuption

Name: Anonymous 2018-04-16 12:36

I've noticed a strong correlation between the number of programmers developing a program and that program's memory consumption. If company has 10 programmers, then its product would take 50 megabytes RAM, if it has 100 employees that would be 500 Mb RAM. For example, Mozilla has more than 1000 employees, and Firefox requires several megabytes RAM. Dillo has just a few developers and its memory consumption is below 50 Mb. Same appears to be true for operating systems: early Windows NT has a small development team, which appeared to have very informal development practices (judging from a lot of swear words in comments), so Windows NT required just few megabytes to run, while modern Windows 10 requires gigabytes.

Who needs multimedia? Who needs responsive design? Who needs security? Who needs highly-abstracted languages that make it easy to get something useful up and running without much effort?

We should go back to C and email and IRC only. Graphics are bad, let's make everything command-line again.

I'm an old fart and I want to impose my outdated ideas on everyone. Hey! Why aren't you listening to me?
