A 2024 plea for lean software (with running code)

Bert Hubert[^]:
The really short version: the way we build/ship software these days is mostly ridiculous, leading to 350MB packages that draw graphs, and simple products importing 1600 dependencies of unknown provenance.
It is not _that_ the code is shipping, it's _what_ code is shipping
With apologies to Ron White

I empathize with everything Hubert writes. Unfortunately, like most things nowadays, it's too late to change how software is developed, short of another dinosaur killing asteroid or man-made catastrophe. My money is on the man-made catastrophe option. (Though one other option is for an enlightened project manager to "just say no", but as I was told in my 20's, "I can't put 'I used Marc's software development paradigms' on my resume." I kid you not.
