It's kind of a tragicomedy how people complain about "bloat" in software, and then vehemently oppose the single most effective solution to that problem (single-purpose dependency ecosystems) because of misguided associations and assumptions
@sasha Oh, very much the same. It can signal a few different beliefs, but none of them are generally something I want to deal with...
@joepie91 "I know it when I see it" but for bloat
@joepie91 cough cough suckless?
@joepie91 I'm at the point were I view any complaints about software "bloat" that aren't extremely specific and well qualified (they rarely are) as an immediate red flag.
