> I think most programmers of that vintage must be horrified by the amount of bloat in modern computer systems. I've been writing apps for computers since 1978, and I'm seriously horrified by bloat. It appears to be an unstoppable force, however, so these days I'm mostly interested in ways to harness bloat. I believe this is also a principle activity of my peers.

  A question that must be answered by every single modern developer, for that is what (a majority of them) are doing .. Visual Studio, C#, Mono .. these are all big harnesses, keeping the resources tied to the rock.
