Minimalism in an Age of Tremendous Hardware
- joeyespo 14y agoWhat's interesting and somewhat related are the studies done where, all things being equal, code size is the best predictor of code quality [1]. I think as far as justifications go, this research gives us a compelling reason to continue down the path of minimalization and simplicity, even when we have the capacity to store and execute very large programs.

- zimbatm 14y agoI liked to be reminded that there used to be a time where "complete" systems could fit in 1k of storage. Even as a developer, I'm always amazed at how exponentially expensive all these features that we have added over the years are.
