I find the bloat of recent software comes mainly from the web development area which consists of far too many kids who want to make cat web sites cause they now know "computers and stuff". This trend has led those with small businesses to think anyone can slap together a web site in two weeks and "What does it matter if it's a 10MB download?".
This has led to people like me who are strong followers of such philosophies and methods who want more time to analyze the real needs of the business and the technical needs of a web site to get beat down by managers who claim they've never known anyone to take more than two weeks to do anything. (A recent true story.)
- alunchbox 8y agoThat's unfortunately the harsh reality of a business. They always want it done yesterday, never mind arguing the time needed for writing unit tests / E2E or performance & load testing as those don't give "business value". oh, don't even mention refactoring. * can this button do action A? yes move on to B. etc... (don't even look at A anymore) I completely feel you with this one.
