How should software bloat be punished?
>>
>>102417144
They should be hanged, rendered, and bit shifted twice to the right
>>
>>102417144
forced to develop everything on a computer from 2006 so they learn constraint
>>
>>102417144
State-mandated freetardism. You can use Trisquel on a librebooted X200, no other devices allowed. Like >>102417234 but worse (for them.)
>>
>>102417234

Force them to write STM32 microcontroller firmware so they have to account for every kilobyte of memory.

Bottom surgery

bloat? hand over your Apple II, anon.
Now segfaults, they should be punished by a bomb going off under the programmer's chair. That'll do wonders for code quality.
>>
>>102417144
To punish a developer, you must think like a developer. Force them to attend one major league baseball game, sober, without their phone.
>>
>>102417234
I think you meant 1982.

Stuff the developers' faces with beans, taco bell, ginger ale, cabbage, mountain dew, and pop rocks all at once. Deny them bathroom breaks
>Do you feel that? Do you feel it? That is how computers feel when they run your shitty code.

Fun Fact: MLB no longer lets you into stadiums without a smartphone. You can't print off a paper ticket anymore, they have a mobile app and that's the only supported thing.

In any case, a sensory-deprivation chamber would work a lot better.

itt do nothings mad at people getting shit done

>>102417234
unironically i'd love to develop on a shitty xp machine. then again i don't program bloat lmao.

Dev gets locked in a cell, not allowed to get out until his EXE runs on 640 KB RAM :)

that fact wasn't very fun

>>102417840
That's low even for sportsball fans
>>
>>102417144
No downloads, no license purchases. It should only result in a waste of the dev's resources.
>>
>>102417887
Then do it. They're cheap. Its the nice ones that get scalped.

the problem is, devs aren't forced to use their own slop. they all just develop slop for someone else

>>102417144
Blame the Americans with their bigger is better and it's big so it must be good.

I wouldn't be surprised if climate-concerned governments started handing out fines one day.

No wonder C++ takes so long to compile.
