pmroman 🇪🇺There's a point when we must consider sacrifices to preserve that which is more precious to us: our lives, our freedoms, and our civilization. We're reaching a point where our survival could depend in our ability to defeat our enemies with whom peace has proven to be impossible. I think an extreme show of readiness and force is needed immediately.

bert hubert 🇺🇦🇪🇺🇺🇦In 1995 computing pioneer Niklaus Wirth wrote "A Plea for Lean Software". In 2024 it is entirely normal for simple software to be shipped as a 350MB package, or for it to have 1600 dependencies. In appreciation of Wirth's legacy, I wrote a 2024-era Plea for Lean Software, updated for today's computing horrors: https://berthub.eu/articles/posts/a-2024-plea-for-lean-software/
A 2024 Plea for Lean Software (with running code) - Bert Hubert's writings
This post is dedicated to the memory of Niklaus Wirth, a computing pioneer who passed away January 1st. In 1995 he wrote an influential article called “A Plea for Lean Software”, and in what follows, I try to make the same case nearly 30 years later, updated for today’s computing horrors. The really short version: the way we build/ship software these days is mostly ridiculous, leading to 350MB packages that draw graphs, and simple products importing 1600 dependencies of unknown provenance.

@bubbline , @malcircuit , here we go again. Desirability of forums. Big Mastodon wave. And... What?
Let us discuss the desirability of forums at a forum. For example here:
