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.

higher-level languages don't solve security. trust me, I work in sec and most of the bugs out there are not related to memory. those that are often tend to be more severe, but also more difficult to exploit and messier when the exploit fails.
