After reading the comments here, I think everyone needs to repeat the one true mantra: "machine time is cheaper than developer time". Anyone "optimizing" an app is wasting time and money. Anyone optimizing an app for space usage is doubly foolish: extra gigabytes are free.
<- That's sarcasm, by the way. But if you asked any of the apps' developers, that is the answer you'll receive.
- markus_zhang 5y agoIt depends on your perspective I think. How many machines are we comparing with one developer?
- ticviking 5y agoCertainly my machines time is very cheap for them.
- romwell 5y agoYes, and the user's frustration (and time spent figuring out how to clean up space on what was a new phone just a week ago) also costs nothing to the developer. Sincerely, I hope this mantra dies.
