        all our computer shit would be way better if devs were forced to be as diligent as the 80s instead of memory and processing gains being wasted on bloat

            it doesn't have to, there's just no financial incentive or regulatory pressure. embedded systems are still constrained because they want to pay less for hardware, but you care a lot less if you're not the one buying ram.

              yeah but there is financial pressure to get the product released quickly which means there is pressure to cut corners and the memory being available makes it a corner that can be cut. Software developers now aren't morally inferior than they were then bosses then just listened when developers pointed out issues of bloat
