suckless devs be like:

instead of making bloated software that tries to have every feature at once, and barely works,

let's use C to write software that's so oversimplified and lacking in features that it's unsuitable for almost any use case except my single hyperspecific one

like they've correctly identified a harmful philosophy and decided to do the polar opposite of that philosophy, and ended up with software that is so much worse than what they were trying to avoid
