A Plea For Lean Software[1] from 1995 sounds very familiar. Only the byte sizes have changed.
The article complains about a text editor requiring as much as 800KB of RAM. 0.8MB would be impressively lean today.
• We've been making "bloated" software the whole time, so maybe it isn't that bad? 🤔
• A lot of 1995 tech still works today, so people could write leaner software if they wanted to.
