I like suckless too, and use some of their tools (surf is a godsend for my dying laptop) but I find it interesting they linked to the "Duct Tape Programmer" essay at the bottom. I mean, aren't they doing another kind of opposite to duct tape programming? "Write beautifully clean and minimal C code" seems to me just as detached from "just ship the damn thing!" as doing massively multi-inheritanced templated C++ architecture, albeit in the opposite direction.
