It's just far easier to write bloated software than it is to write efficient software. Particularly in the "just get it done" atmosphere most programmers operate under.
- nulltype 11y agoI would say it's a trade-off between writetime efficiency and runtime efficiency. The trend has been that runtime efficiency matters less and less. Compare the modern idea of "efficient" software to the binary that early machines were programmed in. With Moore's law possibly ending and current memory access speeds though, it may be starting to matter a lot moore.
